A group of MPs from across the political divide has used parliament to condemn North Korea over its repeated testing of illegal nuclear and ballistic weapons and significant ongoing human rights abuses.

It also encouraged China to pressure North Korea to adhere to international agreements and begin constructive talks to permanently dismantle its nuclear capabilities.
