REPLACEMENT OF TRIDENT

Early day motion 1106, tabled 13 March 2007 by Hywel Williams (Plaid Cymru). Signed by 29 members.

That this House believes that nuclear weapons cannot protect the UK from modern security threats; notes that a decision to replace Trident could well be unlawful and would not make the world a more secure place; and believes that the £76 billion estimated cost of Trident replacement and maintenance would be better spent on health care, education, alleviating global poverty or tackling the problems of climate change.

Signatures by party: Labour 13, Scottish National Party 5, Liberal Democrat 4, Plaid Cymru 3, Social Democratic and Labour Party 3, Independent 1.
