Missile Defence (Hansard, 23 April 2001)

HL Deb 23 April 2001 vol 625 cc3-4WA 3WA

§ Lord Judd
asked Her Majesty's Government:
What is their estimate in terms of obligations under Article III, V, VI and IX of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty of any role to be played by RAF Fylingdales and RAF Menwith Hill in United States plans for missile defence. [HL1491]
4WA

§ Baroness Scotland of Asthal
The US has yet to put forward any specific missile defence proposals and has not therefore requested the use of UK facilities in this regard.
In addition, the UK is not a party to the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.
