HL Deb 30 October 1996 vol 575 c20WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they intend that the Conventional Forces in Europe treaty should still apply to the ex-Warsaw Pact countries into which it is intended that NATO should expand.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

The treaty on Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) applies to all the European countries of the former Warsaw Pact except the Baltic states. Their continued membership is a matter for their governments.
