Draft reply by the United Kingdom delegation to WEU Assembly Recommendation 360 on SALT and the British and French nuclear forces (London, 21 January 1981)

Text
On 17 December 1980, the Western European Union (WEU) Council agrees that the United Kingdom delegation should draft a reply to WEU Assembly Recommendation 360. The first draft text prepared by the UK delegation, issued on 21 January 1981, reaffirms the WEU Council’s beliefs that the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation’s (NATO) defence and arms control policies should operate complementarily. The strategic balance between the USSR and the United States is central to the security of the Alliance. The draft reply also highlights the deterrent role that British and French nuclear forces could play.
