Anti-nuclear weapon campaigners picket Plymouth MP’s office ahead of Devonport demonstration

Anti-nuclear weapon campaigners picketed the office of a Plymouth MP ahead
of a Devonport demonstration. The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) is
calling on people to say “no to Britain’s weapons of mass destruction”.
The group held a protest outside the constituency base of Armed Forces
Minister Luke Pollard MP this week over the issue and said it has requested
a meeting with him. It came ahead of a national demonstration opposing
Britain’s nuclear weapons which is planned for Devonport Dockyard on
Saturday, June 7. Devonport is the focus of the campaign in Plymouth
because it is where the Ministry of Defence (MoD), operates, berths, and
maintains nuclear powered submarines and warships. The Devonport Site
covers the land owned by the MoD and Devonport Royal Dockyard Ltd (DRDL),
operated by Babcock.
