Lord Jenkins of Putney

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will ask the United States Government if it is their view that British nuclear weapons make a continuing contribution to the maintenance of stability in Europe.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey:

The United States, as a member of NATO, subscribed to the Alliance's Strategic Concept, agreed in 1991, which recognises the contribution to deterrence made by the United Kingdom's independent nuclear forces.
