Indian Nuclear Tests (No. 2)

EDM number 1322 in 1997-98, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 13/05/1998.

That this House condemns the government of India for detonating three nuclear devices in underground tests and then defying world opinion and protests by detonating two further devices; believes that such action is dangerously inflammatory in an unstable region; believes that testing nuclear weapons is a retrograde step in the current world climate; and calls upon the Government to make representations to India to cease all nuclear testing immediately and sign the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs.
