Conventional Weapons

My Lords, I hear it was at the other end. There is no way that we can deal with these things safely. Devices will always be traumatised in their delivery systems. Can we please have a Government undertaking today that we will do everything we can to achieve an international ban, everything we can as a nation to ensure that our Armed Forces do not use these devices, which are almost certainly counter-productive for our current types of military conflict, and that we will not supply them to anybody else? I look forward to the answer as this may be an occasion when agreement will break out.
