tabling member printed	Lord Campbell of Pittenweem
uin	HL5771
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
