Trident Replacement (No. 2)

EDM number 576 in 2016-17, proposed by Caroline Lucas on 19/10/2016.
Categorised under the topics of Defence equipment and procurement, Defence policy and Ballistic missile defence.

That this House notes that construction has begun on the Successor submarines as part of the programme to replace the Trident nuclear weapons system; is concerned that during the debate on the Address on 18 July 2016, Official Report, columns 6-114, the Government was unable to give an estimate for the for the total lifetime cost of the programme, despite some reports suggesting the figure could be more than £200 billion; believes that the funds spent on Trident replacement would be better spent on tackling threats identified in the National Security Strategy; and calls on the Government to cancel the plans for Trident replacement and fully participate in discussions at the UN to prohibit nuclear weapons across the world.

This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs.
