§ Lord Kennetasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether it is the case that the United States Administration in 1991 authorised the establishment of commercial businesses as cover for military 112WA intelligence gathering; whether they have any evidence that such operations have been established in this country; and, if so, whether they will list the businesses involved.
§ The Minister of State, Home Office (Baroness Blatch)The first part of the question is not a matter for Her Majesty's Government. US military activities in the UK are covered by the NATO status of forces agreement, which includes a commitment to respect UK law.
