MULTILATERAL DISARMAMENT

Motion Text

That this House supports the Secretary of State for Defence, the right hon. Member for Sevenoaks, when he said in a parliamentary debate in January 2015 that the Government shares the vision of a world that is without nuclear weapons, achieved through multilateral disarmament (Official Report, 20 January 2015, column 105); welcomes the assurance of the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, the hon.
