HL Deb 24 June 1996 vol 573 c45WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they, and the International Atomic Energy Authority, or any other international body, have been informed of the dismantling of the infrastructure of the former nuclear test site in Kazakhstan by the United States, and of the nature of a contract reputedly signed by the United States Nuclear Defence Agency and Kazakhstan's National Nuclear Centre, worth 4 billion dollars; and what international verification procedures are in place.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

We exchange information and views on a regular basis with our NATO allies on the various national programmes which are in place to assist the process of denuclearisation in the former Soviet Union.
