To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs in which international conferences relating to non-proliferation (a) the UK and (b) the European Community has participated in the Caribbean since 2001. (107193)

The UK has not participated in any major international conferences in the Caribbean relating to non-proliferation since 2001. However, UK officials have attended a number of regional meetings, seminars and workshops.

We have consulted officials of the European Commission and the European Council Secretariat and they have informed us that they are not aware of any EU official representation at any conferences in the Caribbean relating to non-proliferation since 2001.
