answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/10/2014 answer text <p>As set out in its 2010 Strategic Concept, NATO is committed to the long-term goal of a world without nuclear weapons. However, for as long as nuclear weapons exist, NATO has stated that it will remain a nuclear alliance.</p><p>The United Kingdom fully supports efforts to combat the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction through the universalisation of the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Biological and Toxic Weapons Convention. Furthermore, the UK will continue to work to make nuclear weapons less necessary, with the goal of making them unnecessary. We believe that the best way to achieve a world without nuclear weapons is through gradual disarmament negotiated step–by-step within the framework of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva. As set out in the Strategic Defence and Security Review in 2010, we consider that our nuclear deterrent is the ultimate means to deter the most extreme threats, and the United Kingdom will retain a credible, continuous and effective minimum nuclear deterrent for as long as the global security situation makes it necessary.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 15/10/2014 14:08:04 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/10/2014 answer text <p>Since April 2009 the Ministry of Defence (MOD) has spent approximately £3.9 million supporting Ukraine through the Defence Assistance Fund and the Conflict Pool. Many of the activities funded through these mechanisms support command, control and communications capabilities (C3), to a greater or lesser extent, including through the provision of joint exercising, military education and contributions to NATO coordinated activities. However, the MOD is unable to breakdown this cost further to provide a figure for financial assistance specifically related to C3 alone. <br><br>Activities highlighted included the deployment of both UK civilian and military personnel to Ukraine and Ukrainian personnel to the UK. One such example from September of this year was the deployment of 41 personnel from the Light Dragoons to Ukraine to take part in EXERCISE RAPID TRIDENT, an annual US/Ukrainian multinational exercise aimed at enhancing interoperability and strengthening NATO partnerships. Elements of such exercise activity play an important role in practising C3 capabilities, but we are not able to give a figure for the number of personnel that have been deployed to Ukraine specifically for C3.<br><br>At the NATO Summit in Wales, we announced that the UK would lead a NATO C4 (Command, Control, Communications and Computers) Trust Fund for Ukraine and will contribute over €400,000 to this initiative. Work is now under way on the implementation of the Trust Fund.</p> answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois grouped question UIN 209088 question first answered 13/10/2014 15:49:35 answering member 1444 label Biography information for Mr Mark Francois
