HC Deb 12 February 1986 vol 91 c472W
Mr. Best

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what fresh proposals Her Majesty's Government intend to make on verification of nuclear tests and a comprehensive test ban treaty.

Mr. Renton

None. The United Kingdom tabled a paper on seismic monitoring for a comprehensive test ban at the conference on disarmament in July 1985. This followed two earlier United Kingdom papers. We are disappointed that these papers have not yet received clue attention in what is a useful forum for discussion of these issues.
