Future Funding Of Trident Nuclear Programme

EDM number 223 in 2014-15, proposed by George Galloway on 07/07/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Defence equipment and procurement, Defence expenditure and Defence policy.

That this House does not believe that the British public would approve of spending £100 billion on renewing Trident while welfare and health provision is being slashed; notes that the Ukrainian government is using crowdfunding to pay for its border drone system; and urges the Government to use a similar method to finance the nuclear programme so that only those who believe it necessary or desirable would pay for it.

This motion has been signed by a total of 12 MPs.
