Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they plan to have at the 2026 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and with the government of Saudi Arabia about the government of Saudi Arabia's refusal to ratify the International Atomic Energy Agency's Additional Protocol on enrichment and reprocessing capabilities; and what assessment they have made of the government of Saudi Arabia's intentions regarding nuclear weapons.

Planning for the 2026 Review Conference is underway, including for outreach to a range of States' Parties, and our priority will be to ensure that the Treaty on the Non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) remains a vital pillar of international peace and security for decades to come. We will also use this Review Conference to underline UK support for the International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards regime, including the universalisation of the Additional Protocol (AP). We routinely call on all states to abide by their NPT obligations and for states that have not yet done so to bring an AP into force as soon as possible, including - amongst others - the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
