§ Lord Kennetasked Her Majesty's Government:
What is their opinion of the Israeli Prime Minister's plan to join, at the invitation of the USA, in a Russian-American "project to create an international system which would provide an … answer to the threat of long range … missiles" which could be achieved by "an international effort both in the nuclear and the long-range missile fields".
§ Baroness Chalker of WallaseyThe United States Government has said that such a system should be open to international participation. Invitations to join would be a matter for the governments concerned. We follow developments in this area closely, and hold regular consultations with the US authorities.
