To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the progress of removal of cruise missiles from the United Kingdom, and the alternative use of the sites.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

I refer the hon. Member to the answers which I gave to the hon. Members for Newham, North-West (Mr. Banks) and for City of Durham (Mr. Steinberg) on 6 February at column 591, in respect of RAF Greenham Common, and to my hon. Friend the Member for Cambridgeshire, South-West (Sir A. Grant) on 11 January at columns 691–92, in respect of RAF Molesworth.

Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement about cruise missiles and their deployment in the United Kingdom and within United Kingdom waters.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

With the exception of the remaining ground-launched cruise missiles based at RAF Greenham Common, which are due to be removed by the end of May 1991 under the terms of the INF treaty, there are no nuclear cruise missiles deployed on land in the United Kingdom.

Vessels of the United States navy visit ports and facilities in the United Kingdom. Like the Royal Navy they neither confirm nor deny whether they are carrying nuclear weapons.
