LEGALITY OF BRITISH NUCLEAR WEAPONS

Motion Text

That this House welcomes the recent judgement by a court in Scotland in a case where three women who were charged after they had disarmed an integral part of the UK Trident nuclear weapon system were acquitted by the sheriff on the grounds that their action was justified on account of the illegality and criminality of the UK Trident system; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to institute, as a matter of urgency, an independent, open and public audit of the nuclear weapons programme.
