Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they intend to allow United States forces in the United Kingdom or in United Kingdom dependencies to deploy ballistic missile defences intended to protect US forces while not protecting the adjacent civil population or property, and, if so, how control would be exercised.

The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Baroness Chalker of Wallasey)

We are not aware of any intention by the United States to deploy ballistic missile defence in the United Kingdom or in the United Kingdom's dependent territories.
