HC Deb 17 April 2000 vol 348 c366W 366W

§ Mr. Corbyn
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what co-operation his Department is having with the US Department of Defense concerning the National Missile Defence system. [117908]

§ Mr. Hoon
We have dialogue with the US Administration on their possible deployment of a National Missile Defence system. The US has not asked for UK assistance in the deployment of the system, nor would we expect them to do so until after a US decision has been made on whether or not to proceed with its deployment.
