TRIDENT

Early day motion 498, tabled 27 January 2004 by Lord Cryer (Labour). Signed by 27 members.

That this House notes the lack of a coherent role for the Trident system within Britain's defence network as set out in the Government's defence White Paper; further notes that the technology upon which Trident was based has now been outstripped; and calls on the Government to follow the example of South Africa and abolish the UK's nuclear arsenal.
