TELEVISING LABOUR'S DEBATE ON TRIDENT

Early day motion 576, tabled 8 January 2007 by Gordon Prentice (Labour). Signed by 27 members.

That this House notes that the Labour Party National Executive Committee (NEC) has called a special meeting of the National Policy Forum in February to consider the Government's proposals to retain and upgrade the UK's nuclear weapons at a cost of up to £20,000,000,000; believes that it is totally inappropriate for this to be a closed meeting; and calls on the NEC to invite the BBC and other broadcasters to televise the event and transmit it live to the nation.

Signatures by party: Labour 22, Conservative 2, Liberal Democrat 1, Plaid Cymru 1, Respect 1.
