HC Deb 15 February 1990 vol 167 c414W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of Stale for Defence what was the date of exercise HILEX 1990; if he will list the United Kingdom participants in the exercise; and what was the purpose of the exercise.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

The NATO crisis management exercise HILEX 14 was to have taken place from 4 to 9 March 1990. The Alliance recently decided that in view of international developments it would be inappropriate to hold the exercise at the present time.
