When Lady Ashton, newly appointed EU First High Representative for Foreign Affairs, was "grilled" in the House of Commons last week, she was asked, as a former treasurer for CND, whether she still supported unilateral nuclear disarmament by the UK. I was shocked by the dismissive and disparaging way in which she replied that she had had no connection with CND for 29 years, as if those who continue to support this cause are either simple-minded innocents or traitorous outcasts. If only those "innocents" who marched to Aldermaston in 1958 had been listened to in the first place, the world nuclear scene might not be what it is today. However, it is hoped Lady Ashton does support multilateral nuclear disarmament, and, if involved in the important 2010 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference taking place in New York from 3 to 28 May, she will give full support to any measures for the reduction of nuclear weapons worldwide and for the safe storage of nuclear materials. In doing so she would be helping to start the process of President Obama's dream of a nuclear-free world.

On behalf of ActionAid in the UK and Pakistan, I would like to thank readers of The Independent on Sunday who donated to this year's Christmas Appeal to help those in need in Pakistan. Thanks to your generous donations ActionAid is able to continue its work with hundreds of thousands of people in Pakistan who have been displaced by fighting between the army and the Taliban. Innocent citizens were caught up in this conflict: hundreds were killed and two million had to flee their homes.
