REPLACEMENT OF TRIDENT MISSILES

Early day motion 1422, tabled 5 May 2009 by Roger Godsiff (Labour). Signed by 42 members.

That this House believes that the spending of upwards of £20 billion capital on the replacement of the Trident missile system cannot be justified in view of the Government's other spending commitments, particularly as the Vanguard Class submarines which carry the missiles, supplied from the United States, will remain useable until 2024.

Signatures by party: Labour 30, Liberal Democrat 7, Independent 2, Plaid Cymru 1, Scottish National Party 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
