§ Lord Jenkins of Putneyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will seek to add radioactive material in any form to the internationally agreed lists of prohibited weaponry.
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean)We have no plans to do so. There are no "internationally agreed lists of prohibited weaponry" as such, although certain weapons are banned by treaty or convention. There is no convention on radiological or radioactive weapons. 207WA Certain types of radioactive materials are, however, subject to control under a number of international agreements and guidelines.
