The UK has not put any proposals to the Permanent Five (P5) members on attendance at the Vienna Conference on the Humanitarian Effects of Nuclear Weapons. The UK, US, France, Russia and China exchanged views on attendance ahead of both of the previous humanitarian consequences conferences.<\/p>
The P5 dialogue (initiated by the UK in 2009), provides a valuable opportunity for the P5 to exchange views on a range of nuclear disarmament issues, and is an essential step to building trust and confidence among the nuclear weapons states, as part of a step by step approach to disarmament.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1415", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Hugh Robertson"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Faversham and Mid Kent"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Hugh Robertson"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-07-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-07-07T14:59:15.6393853Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-07-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Nuclear Weapons"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what proposals the UK has put to the Permanent Five members of the UN Security Council (P5) on collective participation in the Conference on the Humanitarian Effects of Nuclear Weapons being hosted in Vienna in December 2014 by the Austrian government; and what discussions were held within the P5 on participation in the predecessor conferences held in Norway and Mexico.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/545", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Paul Flynn"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newport West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Paul Flynn"} ], "uin" : "203561"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/63541", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/63541/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
We do not collect information on how often the official Envoy of the Quartet reports back to the United Nations, the United States and Russia. The Envoy regularly reports back on his work to the European Union and its Member States and we remain in close contact with him. This is in the form of meetings with Ministers and senior officials and the sharing of reports. The Office of the Quartet Representative's website, which contains information about the published outputs of the Envoy's work, is http://www.quartetrep.org/<\/a><\/p> We do not collect information on how many visits of the Special Envoy to the Middle East Quartet has made. This type of information is not held centrally.
The Government does not provide any financial contribution towards maintaining the Office of the Quartet Representative (OQR) or towards the Envoys travel. However, the Department for International Development (DFID) currently seconds two civil servants to the Office of the Quartet Representative in Jerusalem, the cost of which for 2013/14 was £257,885.<\/p>"}
