§ Mr. HuttonTo 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 HoggWe 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.
