HC Deb 15 June 1990 vol 174 c379W
Mr. Canavan

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what changes he envisages in Britain's defence policy as a result of the two-plus-four talks on the reunification of Germany.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

As my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State informed the House on 6 February, we are examining options for change in the structure and deployment of our armed forces in the light of changing international circumstances. We will also be playing a full part in the forthcoming review of NATO strategy. It is still too early to indicate any specific changes, but we will continue to maintain our commitment to NATO which provides the best guarantee of peace and security in Europe.
