answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/06/2018 answer text <p>​No decisions were taken at this year’s Preparatory Comittee for the 2020 Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference. The British Government remains committed to working with a wide range of states on how we can tackle the challenges that we face on non-proliferation and disarmament, and on how to enable access to the peaceful use of nuclear technology. We will continue to press for the entry into force of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, the start of negotiations on a Fissile Material Cut-Off Treaty in the Conference on Disarmament, and increased transparency and trust between Nuclear Weapons States in order to develop global conditions in which nuclear armed states feel confident enough to relinquish their weapons. In particular, the British Government will continue its leading role in resolving the considerable technical and procedural challenges involved in nuclear disarmament verification.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 19/06/2018 15:56:03 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

uin	130821
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2018 answer text <p>Israeli Immigration Policy is a matter for the Government of Israel. We are not aware of a full travel ban on the British charities War on Want and Palestine Solidarity Campaign. The Israeli Parliament passed a law on 6 March 2017 to authorise the denial of entry to foreign nationals who have publicly called for a boycott of Israel and/or settlements, or who belong to an organisation which has called for a boycott. On 7 January, the Israeli Ministry of Public Security published guidance identifying 20 non-government organisations which are particularly associated with calling for a boycott of Israel. This list included War on Want and Palestine Solidarity Campaign. Individuals strongly associated with these organisations may be denied entry to Israel, but we are not aware of a blanket travel ban. We have updated our travel advice to recommend that concerned British nationals contact the Israeli Embassy for further information.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 13/03/2018 17:45:45 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
