§ Adam PriceTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of the role of Pakistan in the proliferation of nuclear weapons. [93429]
§ Mr. Mike O'BrienPakistan's continued development and testing of nuclear weapons and the means for their delivery is a matter of concern to the entire international community.
Pakistan's nuclear weapons programme is a breach of the requirements of UN Security Council Resolution 1172. We regularly call upon Pakistan to abide by all the requirements of the Resolution, including cessation of the development of nuclear weapons, and accession—as a non-nuclear weapons state—to both the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
We are aware of, and concerned by, reports that Pakistan has nuclear related dealings with other countries.
