CND reporting PM to the UN
Pressure campaign after ministers ‘broke treaty’ on nuke stockpile

THE Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) is set to report the British government to the United Nations (UN) over plans to raise the cap on its stockpile of warheads.

A new CND campaign, which launches today, will seek backing from the public before complaints are brought against the state.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has faced heavy criticism after a defence policy review in March proposed lifting the current cap on Trident nuclear warheads by over 40 per cent — from 180 to 260.
