HC Deb 03 November 1992 vol 213 c173W
Mr. Hutton

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent communications his Department has had with his counterparts in Japan relating to the non-proliferation treaty and the International Atomic Energy Agency; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We have discussed a wide range of issues with Japanese counterparts in recent meetings. As far as nuclear non-proliferation is concerned, recent contacts have concentrated on formal preparations for the 1995 NPT extension conference. We are also regularly in touch with the Japanese on non-proliferation issues within the auspices of the Nuclear Suppliers Group and the Zangger committee.
