HL Deb 21 October 1991 vol 531 c107WA
The Lord Jenkins of Putney

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Why they sent nuclear weapons into the Falklands War zone against a non-nuclear country.

The Earl of Arran

It has long been the practice neither to confirm nor deny the presence or otherwise of nuclear weapons in particular locations at given times. It was, however, made clear at the time that there was no question of our using nuclear weapons in the Falklands conflict.
