§ Mr. HuttonTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what information he has on the number of nuclear warheads which have been destroyed by the Russian Government under the provisions of the START 2 treaty.
§ Mr. HanleyThe START 2 treaty has not yet come into effect and cannot legally do so until START 1 enters into force. Therefore, no nuclear warheads have been destroyed by the Russian Government as a result of the terms of the START 2 treaty.
