asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will discuss with his North Atlantic Treaty Organisation colleagues the deployment of the neutron bomb in Europe.

I have no plans to do so. As I informed the hon. member for St. Pancras, North (Mr. Stallard) on 12 June—[Vol. 968, c. 215–16]—we accept President Carter's decision of a year ago to defer a final decision on the production of enhanced radiation warheads, the so-called neutron bomb.
