answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <p>The UK has always strongly supported the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty and the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation (CTBTO). Our goal is to see this Treaty enter into force and bring an end to nuclear weapon test explosions or any other nuclear explosion. We used the Preparatory Committee to continue conversations on how to continue to best support the CTBTO. We continue to press for ratification by those countries who will bring the Treaty into force (Annex II countries). We continue to support the CTBTO's verification system, which is a unique and immensely important international asset. We have supported the 2019 Budget Update but have also called on all States Signatories in arrears of their assessed contributions to make payments to reduce their arrears as a matter of urgency. We continue to participate in and support both of the CTBTO's working groups.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 12/11/2018 12:08:29 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2018 answer text <p>The UK remains committed to the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. During the last 12 months we have continued to press those states who have not yet signed and ratified the Treaty to do so. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office Minister for Asia made a statement promoting the universalisation and entry into force of the Treaty at the Conference on Facilitating the Entry Into Force on 20 September 2017. During the current 72nd Session of the UN General Assembly, the UK made a statement and co-sponsored a resolution pursuing these goals for the Treaty. We also work through the EU to promote the Treaty, and the EU Council recently adopted the seventh Decision in its support on 26 February.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 13/03/2018 15:54:56 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
