What new initiatives they are taking with the United States and other allies to accelerate the elimination of the nuclear and missile threat. [HL3065]
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Baroness Scotland of Asthal)The recently concluded NPT Review Conference agreed a programme of steps which will contribute to the elimination of nuclear weapons. The UK played a leading role in securing this agreement. Our aim now is to work with the US and other allies to translate this agreement into concrete progress on non-proliferation and disarmament.
We are also discussing with the US and other countries the scope for further international measures to curb missile proliferation.
