Mr. Latham
asked the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to his reply to the hon. Member for Melton on 9 March, Official Report, c. 366, if he is satisfied in all respects with the accuracy of the International Institute for Strategic Studies' publication "The Military Balance 1981–82."
Mr. Wiggin
The Ministry of Defence is not responsible for this publication and would not necessarily endorse every figure and statement in it. I am nevertheless satisfied that it is generally reliable.
