HC Deb 07 July 1997 vol 297 c359W
Mr. Stunell

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if the defence review will include consideration of the costs and value of contributing to international peacekeeping forces; and if he will make a statement. [6642]

The contribution that the armed forces make to the international peacekeeping will be taken fully into consideration in the strategic defence review, both in setting the policy baseline and in deciding how the armed forces should be structured, equipped and deployed to meet our national interests and commitments.
