Scottish parliamentarian highlights ‘nuclear annihilation risk’ in major UN speech

AN SNP MSP has made a statement to the United Nations on reducing the risk
of nuclear weapons. Bill Kidd – in an address at a conference of the UN
Preparatory Committee of the Non Proliferation Treaty on Tuesday – called
on states to work together to reduce the risk of nuclear war.

The Glasgow Anniesland MSP also urged the USA, Russia, China, France and the UK to halt
their programs to develop and deploy new nuclear weapons. Kidd is a staunch
supporter of anti-nuclear power and weapons policies and is a co-president
of Parliamentarians for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament (PNND) –
an international organisation comprising 70 parliaments and over 800
members from around the world.
