NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY REVIEW CONFERENCE AND MAYORS FOR PEACE

Early day motion 1027, tabled 5 April 2005 by Malcolm Savidge (Labour). Signed by 108 members.

That this House is deeply concerned about the continuing possession and reliance on nuclear weapons, the risks posed by possible nuclear proliferation to more states and to non-state armed groups, and the possibility that nuclear weapons may be used by accident, miscalculation or intent; notes the opportunities provided by the 2005 Review of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons to show greater progress in implementing existing non-proliferation and disarmament commitments; and firmly supports the aims of the 100 strong lobby by international Mayors for Peace that will be present at the NPT Review Conference for the first time, under the leadership of the Mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to press for early and full Treaty compliance.
