To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is the nature of NATO's exercise Teamwork 90, planned for September; where in Scotland it will take place; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

Teamwork 90 is a NATO maritime exercise to be held in the North Atlantic and in the waters off Norway from 6 to 23 September 1990. The exercise is designed to train NATO's maritime forces, including amphibious and air forces, to defend and operate in this geographically demanding area.

The exercise will involve some activity at RAF stations in Scotland and in Scottish waters.
