ABM TREATY

Early day motion 588, tabled 13 December 2001 by Tony Lloyd (Labour). Signed by 65 members.

That this House regrets the decision of the United States Government to abrogate the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty; is concerned that one of the existing obligations of nuclear powers to move towards a world free of weapons of mass destruction has been negated; recognises the message this gives globally to those developing such weapons; and calls on world leaders to recognise that now of all times is a period when co-operation and not unilateral action presents the most rational path to a more secure world.

Signatures by party: Labour 52, Labour/Co-operative 5, Liberal Democrat 4, Plaid Cymru 2, Independent 1, Scottish National Party 1.
