Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if the collective commitment made by the United Kingdom, along with the United States of America and Soviet Union, at the first United Nations special session on disarmament in 1978 to negative security assurances and the renunciation of the use of nuclear weapons against non-nuclear weapons states, remains the policy of Her Majesty's armed forces in the Gulf.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

The Government are well aware of their responsibilities and undertakings as set out in their negative security assurance to the United Nations.
