Students LABOUR CND is campaigning to commit CLPs, trade unions and Labour MPs and prospective parliamentary candidates to fight for unilateral nuclear disarmament. It is circulating the following statement:
We, the undersigned express our concern and alarm that the draft campaign statement leaked to the press does not contain a full commitment to unilateral nuclear disarmament which was carried by well over a two-thirds majority of the Labour Party conference. We note in particular that the proposal to keep the Polaris force as a negotiating tool is totally contrary to the spirit of the conference vote on Composite 51.
Conférence clearly and unconditionally voted to close down nuclear bases, both British and American on British soil or in British waters. We demand that this clear commitment should be contained in the campaign document without compromise or fudge. Furthermore, we demand that a clear commitment should be made in the document to support for the position of Nuclear Free Zone local authorities.
