HL Deb 06 November 1997 vol 582 c301WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many officials (a) at the British Embassy in Washington and (b) in the Ministry of Defence are employed in studying the United States Defense doctrine.

Lord Gilbert

The Ministry of Defence does not employ staff exclusively dedicated to the study of US defence doctrine, but consideration of the development of relevant aspects of that doctrine forms part of the normal duties of a large number of staff both within the Ministry itself and with the British Defence Staff (Washington).
