  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Wednesday, 20 March 2013

As an amendment to motion S4M-05988 in the name of Keith Brown (Trident), leave out from "devastating" to end and insert "fundamental responsibility of any government to provide for the security of its citizens now and in the future and to cooperate in securing international peace and stability; recognises the uncertainty of global military threats and, therefore, the requirement to maintain an effective defence capability in the UK, including a nuclear deterrent; understands that significant foreign nuclear arsenals remain and that some are being enlarged and modernised; supports the UK Government’s commitment to progress on multilateral nuclear disarmament; notes the importance of building on the non-proliferation treaty; believes that the unilateral removal of Trident would be irresponsible and negligent, and supports the UK Government’s efforts to maintain stability and security for its citizens and internationally through the maintenance and renewal of Trident."
