HC Deb 27 November 2000 vol 357 cc393-4W
Mr. Chaytor

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans he has to implement commitments made at the Nonproliferation Review Conference; and if he will make a statement. [138880]

Mr. Hain

HMG are committed to translating the agreements reached at the NPT Review Conference in New York into concrete international progress. We continue to discuss these matters with the nuclear weapons states and others. The priority must be to get negotiations on a Fissile Material Cut-Off Treaty under way in the Conference on Disarmament; for the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty to enter into force; and for the US and the Russian Federation to negotiate further deep cuts in their nuclear arsenals.
