question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment of the adherence to human rights they will make when considering to which countries the UK fleet of Panther Command and Liaison Vehicles might be sold.
tabling member printed	Lord Campbell of Pittenweem
uin	HL8054
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2018 answer text <p>The Government will consider export licence applications for these vehicles, like all other export licence applications, on a case-by-case basis against the Consolidated EU &amp; National Arms Export Licensing Criteria. The Criteria state, among other things, that the Government will not grant a licence where there is a clear risk that the items might be used for internal repression or in the commission of a serious violation of international humanitarian law. An assessment of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in the country of final destination as well as respect by that country for international humanitarian law is therefore central to the licensing process.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 04/06/2018 15:51:47 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of the United States about maintenance of the nuclear weapons agreement with Iran.
tabling member printed	Lord Campbell of Pittenweem
uin	HL7382
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2018 answer text <p>The Government regrets the decision of the US Administration to withdraw from the JCPoA and re-impose American sanctions on Iran. We did our utmost to prevent this outcome; from the moment that President Trump's Administration took office, we made the case for keeping the JCPoA at every level. The UK worked very closely with France, Germany and US counterparts to find a way forward to address President Trump's concerns, involving months of intense discussions to secure US commitment to the deal, but without reopening the terms of the agreement. Earlier this month, the Foreign Secretary travelled to Washington and repeated the UK's support for the nuclear agreement in meetings with Secretary Pompeo, Vice-President Pence and National Security Adviser Bolton. The Prime Minister spoke with President Trump by telephone several times, including on Saturday 5 May.</p><p>We now urge the US to preserve the gains that the Iran nuclear deal has brought, avoiding actions that would prevent the remaining parties from meeting their commitments to upholding the agreement. We await more detail from the US following President Trump's promise to find a lasting solution to the Iran nuclear threat.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 16/05/2018 12:42:14 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of the United States about the renewal of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty.
tabling member printed	Lord Campbell of Pittenweem
uin	HL7383
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2018 answer text <p>The Government has close and regular dialogue with the US Administration on all aspects of nuclear and arms control policy. The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) is a Treaty between the US and Russia that, among other things, imposes limits on the numbers of strategic nuclear warheads, inter-continental and submarine launched ballistic missiles and launchers deployed by each country. The Treaty has made a significant contribution to strategic stability since it was signed in 2010. It is due to expire in February 2021. We support dialogue between the US and Russia on New START, but any extension or renewal would be a matter for those countries.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 14/05/2018 12:10:49 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2018 answer text <p>The second of three Preparatory Committees for the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference in 2020 will take place in Geneva in April. At that meeting, we will continue to engage with a wide range of states on how we can tackle the challenges that we face on non-proliferation and disarmament, and on how to enable access to the peaceful use of nuclear technology. The UK plays a leading role on disarmament verification and we will continue to press for the entry into force of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, the start of negotiations on a Fissile Material Cut-Off Treaty in the Conference on Disarmament and increased transparency and trust between Nuclear Weapons States in order to develop the global conditions in which nuclear armed states feel confident enough to relinquish their weapons. We continue to urge all states that have not yet done so, to join the NPT as non-Nuclear Weapons States.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/03/2018 17:12:12 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
