DEPLETED URANIUM

Early day motion 554, tabled 19 April 1999 by Valerie Davey (Labour). Signed by 34 members.

That this House welcomes the fact that depleted uranium-based ammunition has not been used by the United Kingdom forces in the present Operation Allied Force against Serb forces; and, given the persistent concern about the potential long-term radiation and chemical toxicity hazards, calls on the Government to consider urging all other NATO nations to refrain from using depleted uranium weapons.

Signatures by party: Labour 26, Liberal Democrat 5, Labour/Co-operative 2, Scottish National Party 1.
