May we assume from the Prime Minister's Answer that the respective views of the Foreign Office and the Ministry of Defence are now reconciled about the multilateral force, and can he say which one prevailed? Secondly, will he confirm that there has been no commitment by Her Majesty's Government to participate in the proposed force? Is not there a danger that by putting forward proposals they will be construed by our allies as an acceptance, in principle, of that force, and a commitment to participate in it should it be set up?
