My Lords and Members of the House of Commons!

They will continue to support the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and to promote Britain's wider security interests by contributing to the maintenance of international peace and stability. The United Kingdom's minimum nuclear deterrent will be maintained. My Government will encourage a cooperative relationship between NATO and Russia, and will offer further help to countries in Central and Eastern Europe to consolidate democratic reforms and build stability and prosperity in the region. A bill will be introduced to bring up to date the legislation governing the reserve forces.
My Government will also continue to work to preserve and modernize the conventional forces in Europe Treaty. During their presidency in the Western European Union next year they will work to enhance that organization’s effectiveness. Preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction remains a priority. My Government will introduce legislation to ratify the chemical weapons convention. They will persue negotiations on a verifiable comprehensive test ban treaty and a convention to ban the production of fissile material for nuclear weapons and other explosive purposes.

Part of a Political Speech
Madam Speaker, noone who knows my right honourable friend will have been remotely surprised at the quality of his excellent speech this afternoon. I have sat alongside my right honourable friend often enough at international meetings to know his work. And I can tell the House that time after time after time. Often against a hostile environment my right honourable friend won arguments for this country and won them well. He has in this House a particular reputation. He has in all the years that I've known him, and that certainly goes back too long before I came into this House. My right honourable friend has always been valiant for moderation. Not for him the cheap and silly sound bite to sally his opponents. My right honourable friend is rightly contemptuous of that because his politics have been constructed on rational argument and I believe the country and the House will be poorer when he leaves it. He has, Madam Speaker, been a generous source of wise counsel to this country as well as to this Government. He has been a great servant of the state and I am most grateful to him and I believe, all of us in this House who wish this country well should join him in those sentiments.
Madam Speaker, I congratulate also my honourable friend Pochester on his very amusing speech. Very amusing, Madam Speaker, but not wholly frank, for my honourable friend had a dark secret that he declined to mention to the House, the dark secret being his distant ancestor Jeremiah Brandle. Jeremiah, Madam Speaker, was an agitator, a left wing agitator unlike so many rather unworldly and the honourable gentleman says a good one, when he was actually known as a hopeless radical. And so good was he as a left wing agitator that he was arrested, convicted and became the last man to be beheaded for treason in this country. But, Madam Speaker, the honourable gentleman says so far and ... er ... he may unknowingly be right, because what I had not yet told the House was that Jeremiah was arrested by a mister Woldergrade, an illustrious predecessor of my right honourable friend, the Chief Secretary. So I warn the House, if they consider that the spending round is rigorous, my right honourable friend, the Chief Secretary, is in no mood for compromise.
