HC Deb 15 May 2000 vol 350 c31W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action he has taken to persuade(a) Israel, (b) India, (c) Pakistan and (d) Cuba to accede to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. [121945]

Mr. Hain

Ministers and officials regularly raise this issue with the countries concerned. At the ongoing Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference the need for universal ratification of the NPT has been stressed in a number of documents, including the statement by the five Nuclear Weapons States and the EU Common Position and Statement.

Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will place in the Library each of the documents(a) produced by Her Majesty's Government or (b) referring to United Kingdom nuclear and non-proliferation policy, distributed by official delegations to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference in New York on 24 April to 19 May. [121944]

Mr. Hain

We shall arrange for documents circulated by the UK delegation at the NPT Review Conference to be placed in the Library. We shall also place a copy of the final document of the Review Conference in the Library when it is available. This will contain all the documents issued at the Conference.
