answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2018 answer text <p>The NPT does not require the UK, as a nuclear weapons State, to agree safeguards agreements with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Since 1978, the UK has voluntarily accepted the application of safeguards in the United Kingdom in connection with the NPT through tri-lateral nuclear safeguards arrangements between the UK, the IAEA and Euratom – a Voluntary Offer Agreement (VOA) and, later, an Additional Protocol (AP). On 7 June 2018 the UK and the IAEA signed a new VOA and new AP to replace the existing trilateral agreements that include Euratom. The new VOA and AP were presented to Parliament for ratification on 12 November. The new VOA and AP ensure that the IAEA retains its right to inspect all civil nuclear facilities, and continues to receive all current safeguards reporting, thus ensuring that international verification of our safeguards activity continues to be robust.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 28/11/2018 13:47:50 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2018 answer text <p>​The UK has significant expertise in crisis preparedness and consular affairs.
