Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Cluster Munitions (Prohibitions) Bill (HL) 2009-10.
Cluster Munitions (Prohibitions) Bill [Lords]
This is an important issue. Although we congratulate Norway on taking the initiative and it is pleasing to see Britain moving into line with many other countries, some countries—China, Russia, Pakistan, Israel and the US—continue to manufacture and probably use these munitions. What is being done to try to bring on board more signatories and what will we do to prevent financiers and companies from producing and stockpiling those weapons?
