Raf Fylingdales And Nmd

EDM number 436 in 2002-03, proposed by Alan Simpson on 18/12/2002.

That this House notes the request by the United States Government to upgrade facilities at RAF Fylingdales as part of their National Missile Defence programme; recognises that there are huge moral, economic, technological and legal issues raised by NMD; welcomes the Government's commitment to a wide ranging public debate on these issues; and believes that the United States request should not even be considered until the British public has been able to have this debate and decide whether the 'Son of Star Wars' proposals offer any real security for Britain or the international community.

This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs.
