Stop Michael Fallon from spending £642m on Trident before a vote in Parliament.

Petition Details

Defence Secretary, Michael Fallon, is due to announce spending £642 million of public money on renewing Trident despite the fact that the issue of whether to replace the UK's nuclear weapons will not be voted on in Parliament until later this year.

Additional Information

Spending this money on Trident will make it more difficult for the UK to pull out of its nuclear weapon programme as a significant amount of money will already have been invested in its renewal.

This is a unilateral and undemocratic decision by the Defence Secretary that will contribute to the vote in Parliament later this year swinging in favour of renewing the weapons, compromising the impartiality of such a vote. No spending on the programme should be allowed until the vote has taken place.
