UK AND THE NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY

Early day motion 129, tabled 18 May 2005 by Alan Simpson (Labour). Signed by 74 members.

That this House welcomes the opening statement from the UK delegation to the Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference at the United Nations on 5th May of `our unequivocal undertaking to accomplish the elimination of nuclear arsenals'; recognises that such a worthy commitment is incompatible with plans to build a successor to the existing Trident nuclear missile system; and calls upon the Government to abandon any such plans.
