| | Disarmament Diplomacy: - Missile Defence Divergence:Britain Debates NMD |
 | | In Defence Oral Questions, Norman Baker MP (Liberal Democrat) argued that it would be "foolish and dangerous to allow RAF Fylingdales to be used to make the UK a sitting target by basing a national missile defence system there that will protect US but not UK airspace." |
 | | Noting the Government’s statements that the ABM Treaty is solely a matter for its parties, Baker said that if Britain were to be used to break the treaty, then surely it would be a matter for the British Secretary of State for Defence. |
