answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/06/2018 answer text <p>​No decisions were taken at this year’s Preparatory Comittee for the 2020 Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference. The British Government remains committed to working 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 global conditions in which nuclear armed states feel confident enough to relinquish their weapons. In particular, the British Government will continue its leading role in resolving the considerable technical and procedural challenges involved in nuclear disarmament verification.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 19/06/2018 15:56:03 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

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>.

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
