HL Deb 12 January 1998 vol 584 c155WA 155WA

§ Viscount Exmouth
asked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they are prepared to support the United States plans to target American nuclear weapons on so-called "rogue states".

§ Lord Gilbert
Neither UK nuclear weapons nor those of the US are targeted at any country. All members of NATO agree that the primary purpose of nuclear weapons is to preserve peace and deter aggression.
