Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Hannay of Chiswick (Crossbench). It was answered by Lord Triesman (Labour) on Wednesday, 29 June 2005.


Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty

Question
In view of the absence of any agreement at the recent Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference, what steps they will take to ensure that decisions are reached on the recommendations in the United Nations Secretary-General's report In Larger Freedom to counter the risks of proliferation.
Answer

My Lords, the United Kingdom and other EU member states welcomed the recommendations of the Secretary-General's report In Larger Freedom in the EU statement to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference in New York on 2 May. General Assembly President Ping recently released his draft outcome document for the millennium review summit, which is taking forward the work outlined in In Larger Freedom. We are studying the outcome document closely in order to contribute positively towards a successful outcome for the summit.
