HC Deb 09 January 1990 vol 164 c616W
65. Mr. Boswell

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what recent evidence he has of reductions in capability by the Warsaw pact.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

The unilateral force reductions which have been announced by the USSR and some other Warsaw pact countries appear to be taking place. Even when these are fully implemented, however, the Warsaw pact's conventional forces in Europe will substantially outnumber NATO's.
