Nuclear Proliferation In The Middle East

EDM number 1124 in 1989-90, proposed by Gwyneth Dunwoody on 18/06/1990.

That this House notes the statement made by the Libyan Leader Colonel Gadaffi, on 18th March, exhorting the Libyan scientific community to master the necessary techniques that will enable the country to produce its own nuclear arsenal; recalls the recent statements made by President Saddam Hussein which illustrate that Iraq is pursuing a similar nuclear objective; believes that nuclear proliferation in the Middle East will bring the spectre of regional annihilation closer; and urges the Government to ensure that neither military or commercial technology capable of advancing Libyan or Iraqi nuclear designs is exported to these regimes from Britain and her EEC partners.

This motion has been ammended, see 729A1.
