answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2018 answer text <p>The UK Mission to the UN in New York regularly discusses a broad range of foreign and security issues including nuclear disarmament with a broad range of partners including the UN, French and US Missions. As a responsible nuclear weapons state, the UK is committed to the long term goal of a world without nuclear weapons and we continue to work with our international partners to tackle proliferation and to make progress on nuclear disarmament. However, we do not believe the UN High Level Conference in May 2018 will lead to effective progress on nuclear disarmament. It will not address the serious threats to international peace and security posed by nuclear proliferation nor will it take account of the international security environment. We will consider our approach to the Conference closer to the time.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon grouped question UIN HL6202 question first answered 22/03/2018 15:33:56 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

uin	HL6203
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2018 answer text <p>​We will use the second Preparatory Committee for the 2020 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference 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. 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 22/03/2018 15:38:32 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
