Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Global Security (Non-Proliferation).

Global Security (Non-Proliferation)

I apologise for missing the first 10 minutes of my hon. Friend's speech. His Committee delivered a commendably detailed report. Does he believe that a useful outcome of the non-proliferation treaty review might be the establishment of a nuclear weapons convention, which obviously could include all countries, irrespective of whether they were signatories to the NPT? Clearly, NPT membership is restricted to the haves and the have-nots, but those who have just obtained nuclear weapons cannot be included in the system.
