HC Deb 19 July 1994 vol 247 c116W
24. Mr. Clappison

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the progress of the NATO partnership for peace initiative.

Mr. Hanley

The implementation of partnership for peace is going very well. To date, 21 states, including the Russian Federation, have signed; the partnership co-ordination cell has been established; the first individual partnership programme, with Poland, has been agreed, and others are under negotiation; and the first land and maritime exercises under the partnership are planned to take place this autumn.
