Missile Technology Control Regime

Mr. Cohen
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether he is considering lowering the range and warhead weight governed by the missile technology control regime; what talks he proposes to have on the regime; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Waldegrave
There are no plans to lower the MTCR range and warhead parameters. A meeting of the MTCR partner countries will take place in Ottawa soon.
