Elimination Of Nuclear Weapons

EDM number 342 in 1996-97, proposed by Paul Flynn on 11/12/1996.

That this House strongly endorses the sentiments expressed in the speech on 4th December in Washington by General George Lee Butler, until recently in charge of the United States Air Force nuclear bomber command, who declared his support for the complete elimination of nuclear weapons across the globe; agrees with his view that the continued possession of nuclear weapons with their inherent threat encourages nuclear proliferation and nuclear terrorism; supports the call by 60 generals and admirals around the world for the elimination of all nuclear weapons; recognises the excellent work done by the Canberra Commission including Lord Carver and the World Court in clarifying the threat of nuclear weapons; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to play its full part in nuclear disarmament negotiations.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
