EDM 579 CONSULTATION ON TRIDENT
Trickett, Jon (09.01.2007)
That this House notes the Prime Minister's statement in the House of 28th June 2006 that the White Paper, The Future of the United Kingdom's Nuclear Deterrent, would be accompanied by an announcement on the means of consultation for the fullest possible debate; is concerned that there has been no provision made for public consultation; believes that a period of three months is insufficient for a discussion on a decision of this magnitude; and calls on the Government to extend the period of consultation to enable all political parties and other organisations with a legitimate interest to undertake full discussion and consultation which will enable them to present their views and make representations to hon. Members before a debate and vote.
fyi- Jon Trickett is chair of the Compass group of Labour MP’s and is co-ordinating the formation of an umbrella group (inc charities, unions, NGOs) called ‘Rethink Trident’ to call for delaying the decision
