§ Mr. DalyellTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what requests he received in the summer of 1999 from the UN for NATO assistance to investigate the use of depleted uranium in Kosovo; and what reply was sent. [100087]
§ Mr. HoonI have received no such requests from the UN. NATO has received numerous inquiries from a number of sources, including the United Nations, about the use of depleted uranium in Kosovo. NATO has repeatedly confirmed that some of its aircraft used DU munitions in anti-tank engagements.
