HC Deb 16 March 1998 vol 308 c470W
Mr. Todd

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans he has to ensure that the Geneva Conference on Disarmament includes multilateral disarmament on its agenda. [34514]

Mr. Tony Lloyd

The Conference on Disarmament adopted an agenda for the 1998 session on 20 January. This includes a number of items relevant to multilateral disarmament. We are pressing for the establishment of Ad Hoc Committees to work on a ban on anti-personnel landmines and on a Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty.
