Inhumane Weapons Convention (Hansard, 31 January 1995)

HC Deb 31 January 1995 vol 253 cc559-60W 560W

§ 18. Mr. Flynn
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what new proposals he has to add new weapons to the inhumane weapons convention.

§ Mr. Soames
The United Kingdom has not proposed to add any weapons to the scope of the UN weaponry convention, but we are considering carefully those proposals made by others. Our main aim remains to strengthen restrictions on the use of anti-personnel land mines.
