To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what consideration the Government has given to supporting a pan-European nuclear cruise missile treaty, as proposed by the Swiss and Swedish governments in 2016.

Question
to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of the alleged Russian violation of the INF Treaty.
Answered by Alan Duncan
The INF Treaty is a Treaty between the US, Russia and other successor States of the Soviet Union, so it would be for those countries in the first instance to determine any violations. The Treaty plays a vital role in maintaining Euro-Atlantic security, and we urge Russia to ensure full and verifiable compliance.
