HC Deb 16 November 1990 vol 180 c229W 229W

§ Mr. Cohen
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is his policy on negotiations to limit air-launched nuclear weapons in the Atlantic to Urals region.

There are currently no negotiations under way on the limiting of air-launched nuclear weapons in the Atlantic to Urals region. In common with our NATO allies, we seek to maintain the lowest and most stable level of nuclear forces needed to secure the prevention of war.
