HL Deb 25 May 1994 vol 555 c38WA
Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have ratified the protocol concern-ing landmines under the 1993 UN Convention on Inhumane Weapons and, if not, when they will do so.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

The United Kingdom has signed the 1981 UN Weaponry Convention, and we are now working actively towards ratification. We hope to achieve this soon, certainly in time for the Review Conference in 1995.
