question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, with reference to the joint statement by the UK, US and France of 7 July 2017 on the adoption of a treaty banning nuclear weapons, how the ban treaty risks undermining the existing international security architecture; and how the Government has promoted the effectiveness of Article 6 of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty on nuclear disarmament.

uin	5948
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2017 answer text <p>The treaty prohibiting nuclear weapons risks weakening the consensus around the near-universal Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which has played an unparalleled role in curtailing the nuclear arms race. The UK is working with international partners to make progress on the step-by-step approach to nuclear disarmament, including the entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and negotiating a Fissile Material Cut-Off Treaty in the Conference on Disarmament. The treaty prohibiting nuclear weapons does not take account of the complex challenges which must be overcome to achieve multilateral nuclear disarmament. The UK is committed to the long term goal of a world without nuclear weapons, in line with the NPT. We believe that productive results on nuclear disarmament can only be achieved through a consensus-based approach that takes into account the wider global security context.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 26/07/2017 11:07:09 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2017 answer text <p>HM Treasury’s Country and Regional Analysis (CRA) and the Infrastructure and Projects Authority’s National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline (NICP) are not directly comparable.</p><p> </p><p>The CRA provides comprehensive historical analysis of public sector spend on transport by region up to 2016, outlining spend on maintaining and administering the transport network, such as maintaining the local road network. It also includes the actual investment to build new infrastructure, such as investment in a new bypass. CRA data are National Statistics.</p><p> </p><p>The NICP differs from the CRA in that it is a forward-looking view focused on planned projects. It is intended to provide industry with a strategic view of the planned investment in projects to deliver new infrastructure and construction projects across the public and private sectors, including the transport network, up to 2021 and beyond. The IPA makes clear that the NICP is based on non-comprehensive, unaudited administrative data and should not be considered as National Statistics or Official Statistics.</p><p> </p><p>It is very difficult to offer a meaningful regional breakdown of infrastructure investment based on the NICP. This is because only around 40% of the value of projects in the pipeline to 2020/21 has been allocated to individual English regions.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 26/07/2017 11:02:15 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
