WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION FREE ZONE IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Early day motion 2590, tabled 11 January 2012 by Jeremy Corbyn (Labour). Signed by 52 members.
That this House welcomes the Government's support for the establishment of a weapons of mass destruction free zone in the Middle East since the 2010 Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference; further welcomes progress in appointing a host country and facilitator in Finland and Jaakko Laajva; notes that with growing tension the establishment of the zone is vital to the long-term peace and security of the region; believes it vital that no state in the region develops, produces, acquires or permits the stationing on their territories, or territories under their control, of nuclear weapons; and urges the Government to do all it can to ensure that a conference involving all states in the region takes place in 2012.
