Lord Wallace of Saltaire
My Lords, the United States has also not yet taken a decision. My understanding is that the other members of the P5 are unlikely to attend. I suspect that the considerations of the US Administration may not be totally dissimilar from those that are concerning the British Government.
Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Lab)
My Lords, would the Government consider sponsoring a joint parliamentary delegation to attend the conference?
Lord Wallace of Saltaire
That thought had not occurred to me or, as far as I am aware, to anyone else. If the noble Lord would care to attend, we will consider his request.
