Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Denis MacShane (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 29 March 2010 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Iran
- Question
- Do the Government agree with the statement made at the weekend by the NATO Secretary-General, Mr. Anders Fogh Rasmussen, that Europe now needs to develop a missile shield system to protect against a future Iranian missile—one with or without nuclear warheads?
- Answer
-
There is a strong case for the missile shield, which is why the Government have supported the technology; the threat that the Secretary-General outlined, and to which my right hon. Friend refers, is one of the reasons for that.
