>Corbyn, Jeremy
>That this House is concerned that the US is expected to review the 1996 
>national security directive on space in the next few weeks and that 
>President Bush is expected to implement a major shift in policy paving the 
>way for the development and deployment of space weapons; further notes 
>that the Outer Space Treaty bans only weapons of mass destruction from 
>space and that weapons currently under development or research are not 
>weapons of mass destruction; further notes that the deployment of space 
>weapons by the US could lead to a space arms race with Russia and China 
>and nuclear proliferation on Earth; and calls on the UK Government to 
>undertake urgently diplomatic action to dissuade the United States from 
>deploying space weapons and to start immediate negotiations at the 
>Conference on Disarmament on a Treaty banning all weapons from space.
