§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent communications Her Majesty's Government have had with the People's Republic of China on(a) nuclear testing and (b) nuclear non-proliferation.
§ Mr. Garel-JonesWe have recently had discussions with Chinese authorities about the announcement by North Korea of her intention to withdraw from the non-proliferation treaty. We have had no recent bilateral communications with the Chinese on nuclear testing, but both subjects are discussed regularly in United Nations and other multilateral forums.
