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

uin	HL2365
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2014 answer text <p>The British Government strongly supports the right to freedom of religion or belief, which is severely restricted in Saudi Arabia. We make our views well known through the UN Universal Periodic Review Process, in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Annual Human Rights and Democracy Report, and to the Saudi Arabian authorities. We have made clear the importance of religious tolerance, including for different branches of Islam. There are some long-standing tensions between some Shia communities in the Eastern Province and the Saudi authorities. We continue to monitor developments. We welcome all efforts to increase religious tolerance in Saudi Arabia, including the recent calls by King Abdullah and Saudi religious leaders for greater religious tolerance in the Kingdom.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 06/11/2014 14:25:56 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
