HC Deb 27 November 1990 vol 181 c337W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is Her Majesty's Government's policy in respect of participation in negotiations leading to a comprehensive test ban treaty.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

A comprehensive test ban remains a long term goal to which progress will be made only by a step-by-step approach. This must take account of technical advances in verification as well as progress elsewhere in arms control and the attitudes of other states.
