Question to the Ministry of Defence:

What steps he is taking to meet his obligations under the UN Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

The UK is fully committed to the long-term goal of a world without nuclear weapons and continues to press for steps towards multilateral nuclear disarmament within the framework of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. We are leading the work to develop technical solutions for verifying nuclear disarmament, and building the trust and confidence needed to reduce the risk of nuclear conflict and enhance mutual security.
