§ Mr. DalyellTo ask the Prime Minister what assessment he has made of the effect of the use of graphite weapons to attack the electrical system in Yugoslavia, on(a) hospitals without auxiliary generators, (b) the nuclear installation at Vinca and (c) chemical factories. [83780]
§ The Prime Minister[holding answer 10 May 1999]: The UK armed forces do not hold such munitions. NATO has repeatedly made clear that the greatest of care is taken to minimise the risk of civilian casualties and damage to buildings that are not used in support of Milosevic's military machine. The need to avoid dangerous emissions from nuclear and chemical plants is taken fully into account in making decisions about targets.
