HL Deb 19 November 1998 vol 594 c198WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What research they have conducted into United Kingdom public knowledge about, and support for, NATO enlargement. [HL3750]

Lord Gilbert

In August of last year, the Ministry of Defence commissioned a survey on "Attitudes Towards NATO and International Affairs." A copy of the survey has already been placed in the Library of the House. It revealed a reasonable knowledge of NATO among the public, and a high level of support, over 70 per cent., for the decision to admit Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary into the Alliance.
