Trident excluded from Defence Review: write to Liam Fox |
The Ministry of Defence is carrying out a Strategic Defence and Security Review, which excludes any consideration of the future of Trident and UK nuclear weapon possession.
CND believes the Review must include both the current Trident and the replacement system which together will cost in excess of £100 billion, do not meet our security needs and risk provoking nuclear proliferation.
Chancellor George Osborne has stated the Ministry of Defence will have to bear the cost but Liam Fox has disputed this, with no agreement reached whilst the review is ongoing.
Defence Secretary Liam Fox has said this is the defence review to 'put the cold war to bed' but has guaranteed the future of our greatest cold war legacy - Trident.
Email him now and tell him to include nuclear weapons in the Strategic Defence and Security Review.
Write to him now.

Afghanistan: Time to Go national demonstration |
Saturday 20th November
Central London
As a NATO Summit gathers in Lisbon, Portugal to discuss a new Strategic Concept, we will be gathering in central London to call for an end to NATO's occupation of Afghanistan.
With Afghan civilian deaths increasing, as well as British military casualties, the war is increasingly unpopular in NATO states, including Britain. Join us to send a strong message to the summit, and to the government here in London.
