Opposition Defence Policy

EDM number 487 in 1991-92, proposed by Geoffrey Johnson Smith on 15/01/1992.

That this House notes with dismay the composition of the Labour backbench Defence Committee, namely the honourable Member for Leyton as Chairman, and the honourable Member for Bradford South and the honourable Member for Falkirk West as Vice Chairmen, all members for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament; and invites the Right honourable Leader of the Opposition to initiate new elections in the hope of identifying supporters of what purports to be his current defence policy.

This motion has been signed by a total of 38 MPs.
