HC Deb 23 July 1991 vol 195 cc461-2W
Mr. Marlow

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action he intends to take to secure the elimination of nuclear weapons in Israel.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

As a depositary state of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT) it is our policy to take every suitable opportunity both to raise the importance of nuclear non-proliferation with all non-parties to the non-proliferation treaty and to lobby them to accede as soon as possible. This would engage them in an undertaking not to manufacture or acquire nuclear weapons.
