- Motion reference: S4M-10973
That the Parliament offers its wholehearted support to the church leaders who have called on the UK Government to scrap its commitment to procure a replacement for the Trident nuclear weapons system; believes that weapons of mass destruction should have no place in the modern world and that the money spent on these armaments of Armageddon would be much better spent on public services such as health and education, and firmly believes that the country should put nurses before nukes, teachers before Trident and bairns before bombs.
