answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/01/2018 answer text <p>We discuss nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament frequently with a wide range of partners across the international community through UK Embassies overseas, with Embassies in London, in international organisations and directly between capitals. We attended the first Preparatory Committee for the 2020 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference in Vienna in May 2017 where we engaged with a wide range of states on how we can together tackle the challenges we face on non-proliferation and disarmament, and enable access to the peaceful use of nuclear technology. We will also attend the second Preparatory Committee in Geneva in April for further discussions. We firmly believe that the best way to achieve a world without nuclear weapons is through gradual multilateral disarmament negotiated using a step-by-step approach and within existing international frameworks.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 10/01/2018 17:14:17 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
