§ Mr. DalyellTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the purposes and terms of reference of a high-level military and diplomatic delegation to NATO from Japan.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonA Japanese delegation, led by the deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, attended a seminar in Belgium, jointly organised by the NATO information service and the United States delegation to NATO from 17 to 19 June. The subject of the seminar was "Security—North American, European and Japanese Interdependence in the 1990s". Such contact between NATO nations and Japan on security matters of mutual interest is useful, and I welcome the fact that the Japanese were able to participate.
