tabling member printed	Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle
uin	HL408
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/08/2024 answer text <p>The UK regrets Lithuania's decision to withdraw from the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM). As a committed State Party to the CCM, the UK has frequently raised concerns with Lithuania regarding withdrawal, including with Lithuanian ministers and alongside NATO Allies. Lithuania's decision is another reminder of the damaging effects of Russia's aggression, and its impact on its neighbours. The UK strongly supports the progress made since the CCM entered into force and its role in protecting civilians from harm. We continue to encourage countries to join the CCM and discourage states not party to the Convention from using cluster munitions.</p> answering member printed Baroness Chapman of Darlington question first answered 01/08/2024 15:19:45 answering member 3972 label Biography information for Baroness Chapman of Darlington
