§ Mr. Cookasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if, in respect of Her Majesty's Government's adherence to the Treaty of Tlatelolco, he will exercise the option in paragraph 2 of article 28 to waive the requirements contained in paragraph 1 of article 28, which must otherwise be met before the treaty enters into force for the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. HurdThe Treaty of Tlatelolco is open for signature by States within the geographical area specified in article 25. The United Kingdom, lying outside this area, cannot be a party to the treaty or exercise the option in article 28. The United Kingdom has, however, ratified additional protocols I and II. These entered into force for the United Kingdom on 11 December 1969.
