National Missile Defence (EDM1517)

National Missile Defence

EDM number 1517 in 2006-07, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 18/05/2007.

That this House expresses concern at US intentions to develop National Missile Defence (NMD) bases across Europe and the UK's continued involvement at Fylingdales and Menwith Hill in both the operational and logistical components of NMD and the advancement of the space based infra red system; is further concerned that the programme will encourage a new nuclear arms race; fears that it will put the UK in the frontline in future wars whereby the US will have the technological and military capability to launch first-strike attacks without fear of retaliation; and recommends that the Government withdraws its support and encourages the US to cease this programme, which is widely interpreted as aggressive not defensive.

This motion has been signed by a total of 63 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
