Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (Hansard, 17 December 1987)

HC Deb 17 December 1987 vol 124 cc622-3W 623W

§ Mr. Flynn
To ask the Prime Minister if she will take initiatives in support of the paragraph in the intermediate nuclear forces treaty acknowledging the obligations of the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics under article VI of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, in the light of the fact that the United Kingdom is the third depository state under the non-proliferation treaty.

§ The Prime Minister
No. A United Kingdom initiative in the context of a bilateral US/Soviet agreement would not be appropriate.
