HL Deb 25 January 1996 vol 568 c87WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they and NATO have approved any plan agreed between the United States Administration and the Bosnian Government that retired United States military personnel should, as mercenaries, train and arm Bosnian Muslim and Croatians troops; and whether they and other NATO allies intend to support any such plan in the United Nations Security Council if it comes before them at the end of the first 90-day UN arms embargo.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

I refer the noble Lord to the Answer I gave him on 14 December 1995 at col. WA115.

Any arm and train programme must be separate from the NATO Implementation Force and will be consistent with UN Security Council Resolutions and relevant arms control agreements.
