HL Deb 23 July 1998 vol 592 c126WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they agree with the United States Administration that the transfer from Russia to the Government of Cyprus of S300 anti-missile missiles would be "destabilising". [HL2692]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

The Government fully share the concern of the United States and other international partners that deployment of S300 missiles to Cyprus would exacerbate tension in the region. We have expressed this concern to the Government of Cyprus and shall continue to do so.
