Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty

HC Deb 17 October 1991 vol 196 cc195-6W

Mr. Cryer

To ask the Prime Minister if, during his meeting with his Chinese counterpart in Beijing in September, he discussed the implications of the Chinese Government announcement that they intend to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.

Mr. MacGregor

I have been asked to reply.

My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister discussed China's decision to accede to the NPT with Mr. Li Peng. China's action is an important step in the field of non-proliferation.
