Mr. Baker: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the Articles of the (a) Anti Ballistic Missile Treaty and (b)
Outer Space Treaty, which govern the use of RAF Menwith Hill (i) as part of the National Missile Defense for the USA and (ii) as
part of the Space Based Infra Red System (SBIRS). [95747]
Mr. Spellar: The United Kingdom is not party to the Anti Ballistic Missile Treaty. Questions on its interpretation should be
addressed to the USA and Russia. Article IV of the Outer Space Treaty requires that the moon and other celestial bodies should be
used exclusively for peaceful purposes; prohibits placing weapons of mass destruction in orbit, on the moon or on other celestial
bodies; and prohibits placing military facilities, conducting military manoeuvres, or the testing of any type of weapons on the moon
and other celestial bodies. It imposes no limitations on other military activities in outer space.
