§ Lord Kennetasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether in the light of the then Prime Minister Mrs. Thatcher's discussions with President Reagan at Camp David in 1983, at which she secured undertakings from the President concerning the interpretation and the possible renegotiation of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, the British Government has an established droit de regard over US interpretations of that treaty, particularly in the light of the importance of constraints on ABM deployments for the deterrent efficacity of Britain's own nuclear and other weapons.
§ Lord HenleyThe United Kingdom is not a party to the ABM Treaty and does not take part in the Treaty's standing Consultative Commission. This is an area, however, in which we maintain close contact with the United States.
