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.
