Introduction

In February 2003, the UK announced that it would allow the US to use RAF Fylingdales in Yorkshire as part of a proposed US missile defence system. Other military installations in the UK will almost certainly play a part in the system.

Missile defence poses a serious threat both to British security and international stability. Missile defence is a key component of President Bush's aggressive military posture. It is triggering a new nuclear arms race and it makes the UK a target.

CND believes that the Government should have no involvement in missile defence.
