HC Deb 04 December 1992 vol 215 cc436-7W
Mr. Hutton

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what communications he has had with NATO, Indian, Pakistani and Chinese counterparts relating to the conduct of nuclear tests in the south Asia region; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Garel-Jones

We are not aware of any nuclear explosion in South Asia since India exploded a nuclear device in 1974, and we have not recently discussed nuclear testing in this region.
