That this House is deeply concerned that the United Kingdom has been added to the United States’ list of nuclear weapons storage site locations in Europe and that, according to information released by the United States' government, these storage sites are being upgraded; is concerned that this signals a change in the nuclear status of RAF Lakenheath, and that, having been removed in 2008, US nuclear weapons may have already been returned to the base or that the base will receive nuclear weapons in the future; condemns the refusal of the Ministry of Defence to comment on this information to members of this House; notes that RAF Lakenheath, whilst owned by the Ministry of Defence, is run by the United States Air Force; further notes that storage of another country’s nuclear weapons on UK soil puts UK citizens at greater risk of nuclear attack; and calls on the Government to decline to host US nuclear weapons at RAF Lakenheath and to use all possible diplomatic efforts to de-escalate current nuclear tensions.

That this House welcomes President Bush's statement of 7th March in support of nuclear non-proliferation and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT); agrees with his observation that the NPT `represents a key legal barrier to nuclear weapons proliferation'; notes his reaffirmation of the determination of the United States `to carry out its treaty commitments'; agrees with his assertion that NPT parties `must take strong action to confront the threat of non compliance with the NPT in order to preserve and strengthen the Treaty's non-proliferation undertakings'; supports his policy statement on not allowing rogue states that violate their commitments and defy the international community to undermine the NPT's fundamental role in strengthening international security; therefore calls on the United States Administration to honour its commitment under Article 1 of the NPT that `each nuclear-weapon state party to the Treaty undertakes not to transfer to any recipient whatsoever nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices or control over such weapons or explosive devices directly, or indirectly' and thus to cancel any further collaboration on the Trident nuclear WMD system; calls upon President Bush to honour Article 6 of the NPT that binds each of the parties to the Treaty to undertake to `pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament'; and calls upon the UK Government similarly to honour its equivalent commitments.

That this House commends the article by Dr Rowan Williams, the next Archbishop of Canterbury, in the Daily Telegraph on 5th November; agrees with his analysis that military conflict initiated by the United States with United Kingdom support against Iraq could escalate into a nuclear conflict involving Israel; recognises with horror the huge numbers of innocent civilians and military conscripts who would die if nuclear weapons were exploded over or near densely populated cities in the middle east; further recognises that radioactively contaminated clouds show no respect for national borders, as the Chernobyl accident showed; and calls for all efforts be made to reach a diplomatic solution to the Iraq crisis.

That this House notes with grave concern reports of US plans to build new nuclear weapons that would be suitable first strikes against China, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Russia and Syria; deplores further reports that the US would be willing to use nuclear weapons in several scenarios, including an Arab-Israeli conflict, a war between China and Taiwan, an attack by North Korea on South Korea and an attack on Iraq by Israel or another country in the event of a surprising military development; regrets that the US is deliberately undermining international peace and security; and urges Her Majesty's Government to send a clear message to the US that they are opposed to these plans and demand that the US abandons them.

That this House regrets the decision of the United States Government to abrogate the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty; is concerned that one of the existing obligations of nuclear powers to move towards a world free of weapons of mass destruction has been negated; recognises the message this gives globally to those developing such weapons; and calls on world leaders to recognise that now of all times is a period when co-operation and not unilateral action presents the most rational path to a more secure world.

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 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.

That this House recognises the potentially crucial impact of the United States of America's Nuclear Missile Defence System upon nuclear arms proliferation, the security of the UK and world peace; believes, consequently, that no decision should be made with respect to support of the US Nuclear Missile Defence system during the parliamentary recess; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to recall Parliament should such a decision need to be taken.

That this House welcomes the Secretary of State for Defence's answer to a parliamentary question on 3rd July in which he stated that 'Our current assessment is that there is no significant threat to the UK from weapons of mass destruction'; also welcomes the recent statement by the US State Department which acknowledged that North Korea, Iran and Libya, who were the rationale behind the National Missile Defence project 'are no longer rogue states'; further welcomes the compelling arguments which have been advanced by a number of honourable Members in support of their opposition to the NMD; notes the widely reported public criticisms by France, Germany and Italy of the NMD; also notes that Mr Pedersen, the Foreign Minister of Denmark, has said that it would not be Denmark's policy to use Thule radar station, which is an essential component of the NMD; deeply regrets the failure by the present Labour Government to take an unequivocal position on the NMD; is concerned that the US is determined to go ahead with the system, despite its profound implications for the future of the nuclear disarmament process; urges Her Majesty's Government to recognise the increasing swell of cross party and public anxiety about the NMD and its implications for international peace and security; and calls for an early debate before any decision is made about the use by US of the ground radar station at Fylingdales in Yorkshire, which is integral to the NMD.

That this House congratulates former US President Jimmy Carter for his informative and important article in the Washington Post on 23rd February, in which he points out that both the United States and NATO have re-emphasised that they will not comply with a no first use of nuclear weapons policy, that Russia has reacted to this by rejecting its previous no first use commitment and is now more likely to rely on its nuclear arsenal, and also that American and Russian nuclear missiles are still maintained in a hair trigger alert status, susceptible to being launched in a spur-of-the-moment crisis or even by accident; further notes that former President Carter calls for all nuclear states to renew efforts to achieve worldwide reduction and ultimate elimination of nuclear weapons, and for leaders of nuclear nations to honour existing security agreements, including the test ban and anti-ballistic missile treaties, and to remove nuclear weapons from their present hair-trigger alert status; and calls upon the UK Government to act as the former president suggests, including at international fora, to counter this growing nuclear weapons crisis.
