Motion TitleReplacement of the Trident Nuclear Weapons Programme

Motion TextThat this Assembly notes with concern the analysis by the Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee in Westminster that suggests that the cost to replace the Trident nuclear weapons programme has risen to £167 billion; believes that it is indefensible for the British Government to commit billions of pounds of public money to nuclear weapons, particularly when individuals and families both locally and across Britain are experiencing the consequences of austerity measures; and calls on the British Government to cancel its plans for the renewal of Trident.
