answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/12/2014 answer text <p>The Government believes the Action Plan that resulted from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) 2010 Review Conference, which was agreed by all NPT States Parties, was a success, encompassing over sixty actions related to disarmament, non-proliferation and the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. Since the 2010 Review Conference, the UK has taken a variety of steps in support of progress against that Action Plan. Many of these steps were set out in our statements to the 2014 NPT Preparatory Committee, which are available on the UN Office for Disarmament Affairs website at the following link: <a href="http://papersmart.unmeetings.org/en/secretariat/unoda/npt/third-session-of&amp;not;the-preparatory-committee-2014/statements-(10)/" target="_blank">http://papersmart.unmeetings.org/en/secretariat/unoda/npt/third-session-of¬the-preparatory-committee-2014/statements-(10)/</a>. The UK also published a national report on progress against the Action Plan at the Preparatory Committee; a copy is available in the Library of the House and attached to this response.</p> answering member printed Lord Wallace of Saltaire question first answered 23/12/2014 12:56:42 answering member 1816 label Biography information for Lord Wallace of Saltaire attachment 1 file name UK's national report to the 2014 PrepCom.docx title UK National Report

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what priorities they identified at the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty preparatory committee earlier this year that they will pursue at the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty review itself.
tabling member printed	Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer
uin	HL3610
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/12/2014 answer text <p>Our officials actively participated in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) 2014 Preparatory Committee, which provided a valuable opportunity to engage with NPT States Parties on priorities for the Review Conference. The Government’s objectives reflect our overall approach to the NPT: we want to agree further progress towards a world free from nuclear weapons and to highlight our actions in support of this; encourage action that will help to contain any threat of proliferation or non-compliance with the NPT; and support the responsible global expansion of civil nuclear industries. We believe that the NPT is the cornerstone of the international nuclear non-proliferation regime, and we therefore hope that NPT States Parties will be able to agree a consensual outcome balanced across all three mutually-reinforcing pillars to strengthen that position.</p> answering member printed Lord Wallace of Saltaire question first answered 22/12/2014 16:52:18 answering member 1816 label Biography information for Lord Wallace of Saltaire

uin	HL3611
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/12/2014 answer text <p>The Government will continue to implement the commitment announced in the 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review, to reduce the number of operationally available nuclear warheads to no more than 120 and to reduce our overall nuclear weapon stockpile to no more than 180 by the mid 2020s. We will continue our efforts to build confidence between the Nuclear Weapons States (a fundamental foundation for disarmament). As one of those steps to foster mutual trust and confidence, the UK will host the next conference of P5 Nuclear Weapon States in London in February 2015.</p><p>We will also continue to push for entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), and for negotiations on a Fissile Material Cut-Off Treaty to start in the Conference on Disarmament. In addition, we will take forward our pioneering research into disarmament verification. We have made clear that our goal is a world without nuclear weapons. This goal has to be approached step by step through further reductions by the two States holding the majority of nuclear weapons and through increased confidence between the Nuclear Weapon States.</p><p>We remain fully committed to these efforts, despite the challenges of the current global security environment.</p> answering member printed Lord Wallace of Saltaire question first answered 22/12/2014 16:52:44 answering member 1816 label Biography information for Lord Wallace of Saltaire
