HL Deb 31 July 1998 vol 592 cc290-1WA
Lord Judd

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Many of the improvements in the capabilities of our forces planned as a result of the Strategic Defence Review, such as enhanced strategic lift and logistics, will have a direct application in peace support and humanitarian deployments.
