INDIAN NUCLEAR TESTS (No. 2)

Early day motion 1322, tabled 13 May 1998 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 44 members.

That this House condemns the government of India for detonating three nuclear devices in underground tests and then defying world opinion and protests by detonating two further devices; believes that such action is dangerously inflammatory in an unstable region; believes that testing nuclear weapons is a retrograde step in the current world climate; and calls upon the Government to make representations to India to cease all nuclear testing immediately and sign the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
