Scrapping of Trident
The motion
That the Parliament notes the new position of Labour on the issue of Trident following the statement at a Falkirk West by-election hustings by Major Eric Joyce at which he stated that the present Labour Government was “committed to scrapping Trident”; welcomes this long overdue conversion by New Labour to the Scottish consensus against nuclear weapons; calls upon the Scottish Executive to urge Her Majesty’s Government to start the process of scrapping Trident immediately and to seek from Her Majesty’s Government the return of the approximately £300 million per annum that Trident costs the people of Scotland, and further calls upon the Executive to invest at least part of that sum in implementing in full the recommendations of the Sutherland Report, as supported by the Health and Community Care Committee.
