The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty has made a valuable contribution to Euro-Atlantic security for over 30 years. The Treaty eliminates Russian and US ground-launched missiles with ranges from 500 km to 5,500 km. Neither the US nor Russia has said that they wish to denounce the Treaty, or what they would do if it were no longer in force. We welcome efforts by the US and other NATO Allies to preserve the Treaty.<\/p>

We have discussed the Treaty with our NATO Allies on many occasions at both Ministerial and official level. The Treaty remains important for security in Europe. NATO has urged Russia to resolve serious concerns about its compliance with the Treaty. NATO remains the world's largest military alliance, and we remain completely confident in its ability to deter and defend against, all threats.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4210", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-06-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-06-05T16:21:56.38Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-05-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Nuclear Weapons"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the short and long-term consequences for the UK and Europe of any collapse of the 1987 US\u2013Russian Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty; and what consultation they have had with other European governments to seek to avert such an eventuality and to mitigate its implications.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1660", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Judd"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Judd"} ], "uin" : "HL8129"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/890724", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/890724/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The UK's independent nuclear deterrent remains essential for our security. But we are committed to maintaining the minimum amount of destructive power needed to deter any aggressor. We also have a strong track record on nuclear disarmament, reducing our nuclear forces by over half since the Cold War peak in the late 1970s. We intend to maintain a leading role in multilateral disarmament efforts; unilateral disarmament would undermine our security and not make the world a safer place. We regret that Russia is making a number of destabilising nuclear and missile investments and undermining existing arms control Treaties, and DPRK is developing its illegal nuclear programme in violation of UN Security Council Resolutions; this makes progress more difficult. We are fully committed to ensuring that the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) remains the cornerstone of international efforts to achieve our long term goal of a world without nuclear weapons.<\/p>

Our policy remains as set out in the 2015 Strategic Defence & Security Review. This said, "We would use our nuclear weapons only in extreme circumstances of self-defence, including the defence of our NATO Allies. While our resolve and capability to do so if necessary is beyond doubt, we will remain deliberately ambiguous about precisely when, how and at what scale we would contemplate their use, in order not to simplify the calculations of any potential aggressor". The Review also said that "The UK will not use or threaten to use, nuclear weapons against any Non-Nuclear Weapons State Party to the Treaty of the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). This assurance does not apply to any state in material breach of those non-proliferation obligations." We will continue to keep our nuclear posture under review in the light of the international security environment and the actions of potential adversaries.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4210", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-05-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-05-10T16:45:03.363Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-04-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Nuclear Weapons"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their response to Leading by Example: Reforming UK Nuclear Declaratory Policy, the briefing by the British American Security Information Council, and, in particular, its recommendation that the UK should maintain its lead role in multilateral disarmament by (1) explicitly declaring that UK nuclear weapons are only there to deter nuclear use or blackmail when the survival of the UK is in question, (2) strengthening the UK's negative security assurances to non-nuclear states, (3) committing never to use nuclear weapons first, and (4) clarifying that the UK's nuclear weapons are weapons of last resort, and what is meant by that.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1660", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Judd"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Judd"} ], "uin" : "HL7244"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/872367", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/872367/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
