HC Deb 28 January 1994 vol 236 c468W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the progress in implementing the nuclear safeguards inspections at facilities in North Korea; and if he will place in the Library a copy of the safeguards measures list drawn up by the International Atomic Energy Agency for North Korea, pursuant to a decision of the United Nations Security Council.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

North Korea is still refusing to agree to International Atomic Energy Agency inspection of the two undeclared sites which led to its referral to the United Nations Security Council last April. The IAEA is currently discussing with North Korea arrangements for the next routine inspections of its declared sites. Details of specific measures required to ensure compliance with safeguards are not released by the IAEA. However, a copy of North Korea's safeguards agreement with the IAEA—INFCIRC 403—to which such measures are pursuant, has been deposited in the Library of the House.
