Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Alan Simpson (Labour), on Wednesday, 18 December 2002, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 48 members in total.


RAF FYLINGDALES AND NMD

That this House notes the request by the United States Government to upgrade facilities at RAF Fylingdales as part of their National Missile Defence programme; recognises that there are huge moral, economic, technological and legal issues raised by NMD; welcomes the Government's commitment to a wide ranging public debate on these issues; and believes that the United States request should not even be considered until the British public has been able to have this debate and decide whether the 'Son of Star Wars' proposals offer any real security for Britain or the international community.
