question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government how they will vote on the proposals currently before the UN General Assembly concerning the dates and mandate for the 2018 UN international high-level conference for nuclear disarmament; who will represent them at the conference; what will be their objectives for the conference; and whether they accept the Tbilisi Declaration about the conference calling on all OSCE states "to participate in the 2018 UN international conference on nuclear disarmament at the highest level".

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2017 answer text <p>We will vote against the draft resolution at the UN in December on the holding of a UN high level conference in May 2018 to review progress on nuclear disarmament. We do not believe that a Conference mandated by this resolution will lead to effective progress on nuclear disarmament. It will not address the serious threats to international peace and security posed by nuclear <del class="ministerial">non</del> proliferation nor will it take account of the international security environment. The Tbilisi Declaration was adopted by the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly and not by the Government. If the Conference is held, we will consider our approach closer to the time.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 07/11/2017 17:49:30 question first ministerially corrected 16/11/2017 12:37:53 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon previous answer version 20428 answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they supported the Tbilisi Declaration of the OSCE that “Calls on all participating OSCE States to participate in the 2018 UN international conference on disarmament at the highest level and to include parliamentarians in their delegations to the conference to pursue the adoption of nuclear risk reduction, transparency and disarmament measures”; and whether the UK delegation will include parliamentarians.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2017 answer text <p>The Tbilisi Declaration was adopted by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe ​Parliamentary Assembly and not by the Government. We will consider our approach to the 2018 international conference closer to the time. The Government firmly believes that the best way to achieve a world without nuclear weapons is through gradual multilateral disarmament negotiated using a step by step approach and within the framework of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 06/11/2017 16:02:22 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
