Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether, in the light of the international agreement over nuclear weapons in Iran and the meeting of the United States and North Korea in Singapore on 12 June, they have any plans to consult all UN Security Council members with a view to promoting the maximum possible reduction in existing nuclear weapons throughout the world.

​As a responsible Nuclear Weapons State, the UK remains committed to a world without nuclear weapons. We continue to work with partners across the international community towards creating the conditions for a world without nuclear weapons. The Government welcomes the Singapore Summit of 12 June as an important first step towards securing a denuclearised North Korea. We hope this marks the beginning of a substantive process, leading to concrete actions from North Korea towards complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearisation. The UK will continue working with our international partners to strictly enforce existing sanctions. With Iran, the UK remains committed to full implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action by all parties. More widely, the UK continues to play a leading role to resolve the considerable technical and procedural challenges involved in nuclear disarmament verification where we work with a range of international partners including non-Nuclear Weapons States.
