CND condemns ‘outrageous railroading’ of US-UK nuclear agreement renewal through Parliament.

 Anti-arms campaigners today condemned the
“outrageous railroading” of the US-UK Mutual Defence Agreement (MDA)
renewal through Parliament. The MDA, active since 1958, enables vital
nuclear material and technology transfers between the US and Britain,
reviewed every 10 years. But the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND)
condemned the government’s intention to make the treaty permanent by
removing the clause that requires the treaty to be extended and enables
debate and amendment, including rejection.
