Scottish Parliament Motion

Trident Replacement - Lib Dem Amendment May 2006

Green Party Motion -

" That the Parliament ...."

Lib Dem Amendment -

"wishes to see the worldwide elimination of nuclear weapons; notes the UK Government’s commitment, made in June 2005, to reach a decision on the replacement of the Trident system by the end of the current Westminster Parliament; further notes that the Secretary of State for Defence stated in June 2005 that "no decision on any replacement for Trident has been taken, either in principle or otherwise"; calls on the UK Government to publish a White Paper on the issue in order to stimulate a full public debate; further calls on the UK Government to press for a new round of multilateral arms reduction talks, and believes that the UK’s current minimum nuclear deterrent should be retained for the foreseeable future until sufficient progress has been made towards the global elimination of nuclear weapons."
