HL Deb 23 July 1996 vol 574 c105WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have discussed with the US the possible use of that country's counter-proliferation equipment in UN Charter Chapter 7-type action, but outwith Security Council Resolutions, particularly in relation to possible pre-emptive action against Libya's purported chemical facility or other states held to be "rogue states" by the United States or Israel.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

It is not our practice to disclose details of confidential exchanges with other governments. With regard to reports about Libya, I refer the noble Lord to my Answer of 4th July at col.WA 110.
