HL Deb 28 November 1994 vol 559 c27WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether it is the case that in October President Yeltsin agreed to President Clinton's suggestion that their two countries should conduct "a joint exercise in theatre missile defences and early warning systems"(Aviation Week, 3 October 1994); and if so, whether this proposal was discussed in NATO before Mr. Clinton made it.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

Bilateral exercises between the US and Russia are a matter for the two countries concerned. The proposal was not discussed in NATO.
