HC Deb 09 January 2002 vol 377 cc819-20W
Mr. Llwyd

To ask The Prime Minister what recent discussions he has had with the President of the United States concerning missile defence; and if he will make a statement. [25628]

The Prime Minister

I last discussed missile defence with President Bush in early December.

We share US concerns about the threats stemming from the proliferation of missiles and weapons of mass destruction and understand the role that missile defences can play as part of a comprehensive strategy to tackle these threats. I welcome the commitment of both Russia and the US to continue discussions on a new strategic framework including issues related to missile defence.
