That this House supports the renewal of Trident; recognises the UK's international obligations as a nuclear power within NATO; further recognises that maintaining nuclear capabilities while potentially dangerous nations have or are developing their own nuclear capabilities with the potential to do damage to the UK and UK citizens is essential to national security; acknowledges that it is the responsibility of the Government to protect national security and that this responsibility should not be abdicated to our allies; recognises the economic importance of renewing Trident, especially to those communities where it is planned to be built; and further acknowledges that the most effective and credible route towards international nuclear disarmament is best served by a multilateral approach.
