§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what new proposals he has to improve the surveillance of nuclear installations by the International Atomic Energy Authority. [25431]
§ Mr HurdThe International Atomic Energy Agency has made proposals to strengthen its safeguards system. These will be discussed by the board of governors in June. The proposals now strengthen the agency's ability to detect undeclared nuclear activity. The UK strongly supports this initiative to strengthen safeguards and we will try to get it quickly agreed and put into effect.
