Henley, Lord

Question
What tests HMG intend should be covered by the "comprehensive test ban treaty" which is referred to in the document by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Review Conference Principles and Objectives for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament; whether they intend that the desk top tests be included in a ban; and whether they are contributing any views to the discussions now being carried on within the US administration about the US Department of Defense's wish that a Test Ban not be "comprehensive", but rather a "threshold test ban".
