Use Of Nuclear Weapons (EDM1218)

Use Of Nuclear Weapons

EDM number 1218 in 2001-02, proposed by Llew Smith on 30/04/2002.

That this House unreservedly rejects the statement made by the Secretary of State for Defence in Defence Questions on 29th April, Official Report, columns 665-6, that the Government would be prepared to use nuclear weapons in certain specified conditions; believes no circumstances justify the irradiation, vaporisation, explosive destruction or extermination of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, or conscripted military forces by exploding nuclear weapons; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to live up to its legal commitment under Article 6 of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty to negotiate away in good faith all its nuclear weapons at an early date.

This motion has been signed by a total of 39 MPs.
