Labour's chance to scrap Trident
Members given opportunity to debate party’s stand on destructive weapons
LABOUR members were yesterday given their first chance in over a decade to debate the party’s position on nuclear weapons.
Labour conference, which begins in Brighton on Sunday, looks set to discuss a motion tabled by members opposing the Tory plans to blow £100 on Trident renewal.
The debate was initially blocked by party bosses, but a “contemporary” motion on the issue was accepted yesterday by the party’s conference arrangement committee.
