Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has held discussions with his counterpart in the US administrations on the doomsday clock update published by Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.
I have held no discussions with my US counterpart on the 2019 doomsday clock statement. However, Her Majesty's Government has close and regular dialogue with the US Administration on all aspects of nuclear arms control and counter proliferation policy.
