HC Deb 19 May 2000 vol 350 c302W
Mr. Gummer

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will assess the benefits of reconvening the conference which led to the Treaty of Montreux to reconsider the provisions of that Treaty. [121473]

Mr. Hain

The UK keeps all Treaties to which it is a signatory under review. We do not believe there is a need for changes to the Montreux Convention at present. No other party to the Convention has asked for the conference to be reconvened.
