HC Deb 20 April 1995 vol 258 c262W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make it his policy to ensure that the leader of the United Kingdom delegation to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty review and extension conference in New York from 17 April raises under the review of compliance with article I of the treaty the recent allegations that the Aum Shinri Kyo religious group in Japan had obtained certain technologies that could assist in the development of nuclear weapons in contravention of article I. [19331]

Mr. David Davis

Japan is a non-nuclear-weapon state party to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. We believe that Japan is in full compliance with all her obligations under the NPT.
