The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of recent reports of missile tests in North Korea.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The UK is monitoring the continued testing of ballistic missiles by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), including the short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) launches on 14 January 2025 - all of which violate UN Security Council resolutions (UNSCR). The UK remains committed to calling out all violations of UNSCRs and will continue to work with partners to enforce existing UN approved sanctions on DPRK.
