Cluster Munitions (Prohibitions) Bill [Lords]

I disagree with the hon. Gentleman on that point. The hon. Member for Leominster (Bill Wiggin) raised several questions and I hope that I have already dealt with most of them. He asked about whether we would be in breach of article 1, but we would not, because of article 21 which makes specific provision on that point. The hon. Member for Bournemouth, East referred to all the countries that are non-signatories. He can stand in no doubt that we will do everything that we can to try to bring as many countries on board as possible. He asked about the Argentine ordnance in the Falklands and whether it would be a good idea to get the Argentines to deal with that. At this particular moment in time, it would not be a good idea to encourage Argentines to travel to the Falklands. I am glad that hon. Members have supported the broad principles of the Bill and I hope that we will have unanimous support for its Second Reading. Question put and agreed to. Bill accordingly read a Second time.
