answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2023 answer text <p>The death of a hunger striking prisoner while in Israeli custody is alarming. The UK condemns the indiscriminate rocket fire from Gaza targeting innocent civilians in Israel in retaliation and welcomes the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and militant factions in Gaza, brokered by Egypt. The ceasefire must now be honoured to prevent the loss of further civilian life. The UK will support all efforts to promote dialogue and create a pathway towards sustainable peace.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 24/05/2023 16:08:50 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have (1) to sign the UN’s Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, and (2) to submit that Treaty to Parliament for ratification.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL7781
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2020 answer text <p>The UK is committed to the long-term goal of a world without nuclear weapons, in line with our obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). 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 under the NPT. The UK will not sign or ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) as we do not believe that this treaty will bring us closer to a world without such weapons. The TPNW fails to address the security obstacles that must first be overcome to achieve lasting global nuclear disarmament. It will not improve the international security environment or increase trust and transparency, and risks undermining the NPT.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 16/09/2020 12:14:40 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
