Submission Documents: By Councillor David Turner:- "Council believes that nuclear weapons are indefensible. Council notes with regret that the Prime Minister said, in his speech to the Conservative Party Conference on 7th October 2015, that 'our independent nuclear deterrent is our ultimate insurance policy - this Government will order four new Trident submarines' This Council strongly asserts that education and opportunity, social security and support for the vulnerable are our insurance policies. Furthermore, Council recognises the enormous damage to our social fabric caused by the previous and current Westminster Government, through continuing austerity measures and cuts to social security. Council therefore calls on the Chief Executive to write to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Right Honourable David Cameron MP, to express our clear opposition to weapons of mass destruction and, in particular, the renewal of the UK's nuclear deterrent and our desire to see public finances redirected to address the social and economic issues facing Glasgow and wider society."
