We also welcomed the statement by the UNHCHR, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, at that meeting, in which he called for the Cameroonian authorities swiftly to approve a mission by his Office to all parts of the country. We will continue to work with international partners and through Ministerial engagement and our High Commission in Yaoundé to urge the Cameroonians to allow UNHCHR unhindered access.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 18/07/2018 15:38:23 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

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
