Oral answer to question provided on Wednesday, 29 March 2006 in the House of Lords, by Lord Drayson (Labour).


Armed Forces: US Missile Defence

Answer

No, my Lords, I do not agree with that premise. Having recently been in Washington to discuss the specific matters of the JSF in the context of our strong relationship with the United States, I do not believe that that will be the case.

This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Wednesday, 29 March 2006 by Earl Attlee (Conservative).

Question
My Lords, does the Minister agree that issues such as extraordinary rendition, Guantanamo Bay, ITAR and JSF will make it much harder to sell the BMD policy to the British public?
