HC Deb 16 July 1992 vol 211 c963W
Mr. Cohen

T'o ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is Her Majesty's Government's policy towards a multilateral, verifiable fissile materials cut-off.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

Her Majesty's Government welcome the US decision on 13 July to end production of weapons grade fissile materials. It is in response to a bilateral initiative from the Russians and does not depend on United Kingdom agreement. United Kingdom production will continue to be kept at the minimum level necessary to satisfy our deterrent and naval reactor requirements.
