Arms Industry And Civilian Manufacturing (EDM1100)

Arms Industry And Civilian Manufacturing

EDM number 1100 in 1993-94, proposed by Lynne Jones on 21/04/1994.

That this House believes that the proportion of the United Kingdom's manufacturing base formed by arms manufacture is worryingly large, that the opportunity cost to the civilian economy of the arms industry is high and that, while a huge percentage of national research effort still goes on weaponry and highly skilled technicians are deployed in the defence industry, the chances of rivalling the Japanese or Germans in civilian exports are depleted at a time when vast new markets are opening in the East; and calls on the President of the Board of Trade to appoint a working party to look strategically at the future of the arms' trade and its place in the economy.

This motion has been signed by a total of 45 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
