USA/RUSSIA PLUTONIUM AGREEMENT

Early day motion 887, tabled 22 June 2000 by David Chaytor (Labour). Signed by 28 members.

That this House is concerned about the dangerous implications of the plutonium deal agreed by Presidents Putin and Clinton on 4th June; calls upon the Government, when the matter is raised at the G8 Summit at Okinawa in Japan, not to support any financing of the agreement, which would greatly increase MOX plutonium fuel use; and further calls upon the Government to work with other G8 members on independent technical and economic assessment (including liability issues) of the USA/Russian plutonium agreement.

Signatures by party: Labour 22, Liberal Democrat 5, Plaid Cymru 1.
