That this House is saddened, disappointed and alarmed that the present United States Administration should see fit to withdraw from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in order to facilitate their implementation of the National Missile Defence System, thus compounding the offence given to other members of the international community by their abandoning of Kyoto and the refusal of Congress to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and the Ottawa Agreement on anti-personnel land mines; and believes that these actions by the now pre-summit world power do not bode well for the future of planet earth and the human race.

That this House, in common with many Yorkshire people, does not share the enthusiasm of the Leader of the Opposition and his party for the U.S. Government's plans to use Fylingdale for the implementation of its national missile defence system.

That this House expresses concern at President Bush's intention 'to move beyond the constraints' of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in developing Missile Defence; and endorses the unanimous conclusions of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, which recommended that the Government voice the grave doubts about NMD in the UK, questioned whether US plans to deploy NMD represent an appropriate response to the proliferation problems faced by the international community; and recommended that the Government encourage the USA to explore all ways of reducing the threat it perceives.

That this House is opposed to the United States' proposed National Missile Defense System; believes it would breach the existing ABM and non-military space exploration treaties and lead to an escalation of nuclear dangers; therefore calls on the British Government not to provide any facilities for NMD; and calls upon the USA to abandon this dangerous and wasteful project.

That this House believes President Bush is both reckless and wrong in his rejection of the Kyoto Protocol; recognises that international action has to reduce carbon emissions on a scale greater than the first stage of Kyoto targets if any impact is to be made on the accelerating rate of climate change; further recognises that, as the world's greatest polluter and consumer of energy, the USA has a duty to lead the way in pollution reduction rather than opting out of it; understands that President Bush is only responsive to measures which threaten American economic interests; and therefore welcomes actions taken by social and environmental movements to impose their own 'pollution tariffs' on the USA by boycotting American products in favour of ones produced on more sustainable economic terms.

That this House welcomes the communique issued by the Prime Minister and President Bush following their discussions in Washington and the assurance that there would be no development of Fylingdales prior to completion of open consultations on the national missile defence (NMD) programme; notes that the Danish Government is in a similar position over their early warning station at Thule in Greenland and that the Danish parliament will have a full debate on the subject in May; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to have a full parliamentary debate on the implications of involving Fylingdales in the NMD programme.

That this House notes with grave concern the commitment by the new US administration to the early deployment of a national missile defence system; deeply regrets their statements that they are prepared to negotiate the amendment of, or unilaterally withdraw from, the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with Russia in order to make sure they have an adequate and effective and reliable theatre-based anti-ballistic missile system; deplores the announcement by the Leader of the Opposition that a Conservative Government would support the deployment of national missile defence; fears that these moves would lead to a renewed nuclear arms race; which will have dire implications for international peace and security; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to recognise their obligation under Article VI of the 2000 non-proliferation treaty agreement, which commits them to give an unequivocal undertaking to accomplish the total elimination of their nuclear arsenals leading to a global nuclear disarmament.

That this House recognises the danger posed by the proliferation of ballistic missiles; believes that there are a number of policy instruments for dealing with these concerns other than a National Missile Defence, including diplomatic persuasion, arms control deterrence and other defensive measures; endorses the Government's commitment to preserve and strengthen the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty; urges the governments of the United States and Russia not to abrogate or withdraw unilaterally from the ABMT; and calls on Her Majesty's Government not to make any decisions regarding co-operation with National Missile Defence that would undermine strategic stability.
