MPs will be discussing nuclear weapons in a debate on "The cost of Trident nuclear missile and submarine replacement" at 4.30 pm on Wednesday 7 December in Westminster Hall, House of Commons. The debate has been initiated by Jeremy Corbyn MP, Vice Chair of CND.
Please use this opportunity to contact your MP about the billions of pounds that are being wasted on nuclear weapons.

The Government recently disclosed that they are spending £2 billion upgrading the nuclear weapons' factory at Aldermaston, although they say they haven't yet decided to build a new nuclear warhead.
