TRIDENT REPLACEMENT

Early day motion 37, tabled 4 June 2014 by Jeremy Corbyn (Labour). Signed by 49 members.

That this House notes the findings of the National Security Strategy that a nuclear weapon threat from another state is of low likelihood; further notes a procurement cost of £25 billion and an estimated lifetime cost of over £100 billion for the replacement of the Trident nuclear weapon system; believes that there are greater spending priorities both at the Ministry of Defence and across other departments; and urges the Government not to replace Trident.
