This petition was submitted during the 2015 to 2017 Parliament
Rejected petition Put the renewal of Trident nuclear weapons forward to a referendum
Rejected on
The replacement of Trident will use funds badly needed for other areas, of greater benefit to the British people. The facts are: that the global security threat has moved on from needing a nuclear deterrent; it is dependant on US technology to launch; and only 7 other counties even have them.
