Motion text

That this House notes that the Main Gate decision on Trident replacement is expected to take place in the lifetime of this Parliament; considers that at a time of continuing reductions in public spending the procurement cost of at least £25 billion for replacing Trident could be better spent in the Ministry of Defence and across other departments; further notes that the estimated total lifetime cost of Trident replacement is more than £100 billion; and urges the Government to cancel plans to replace Trident.
