Nuclear Testing 23 AGENDA d'EM No. c-.-rC- cpz, .--*-a-a-. Counc-illor Louise Fyfe IGlasgow District Council City Chambers GLASGOW G2 1DU 12 September 1995 Dear CL!kXy&Q NUCLEAR TESTING I recently attended the International Union of Local Authorities Congress (3-7 September) in the Hague where 90 countries were represented by 1,500 delegates. The Steering Committee of Nuclear Free Local Authorities organised an emergency meeting to gain support for a resolution submitted by IULA's Area - Pacific Region, Local Authorities to oppose nuclear testing. L The following statement was later agreed unanimously by the IULA Council. 'Local governments and their citizens in all the IULA Regional Sections call upon all nations to cease and desist from any nuclear testing and they further encourage all nations to continue the process of nuclear disarmament and destruction of nuclear weapons. They make this plea because of their concern for the well-being of the peoples and the environment and because they want to discourage all nations from resuming the nuclear arms race'. I am encouraging all local authorities to take action to protest in the strongest possible terms against all nuclear testing, and to adopt similar resolutions. This is particularly important as the present Government have failed to speak out on this issue. I have enclosed our briefing paper for Councillors produced at the end of July. I would also like to invite your New Authority to use this opportunity to make a commitment to join the Nuclear Free Local Authority movement and help work towards a nuclear free world. Nuclear Free Local Authorities would welcome an early indication of support. Yours sincerely V Louise&# Fyfe .. Chair - Nuclear Free I ocal Authorltles Stwrlncl CO~UUJS For more details see enclosed leaflet 25 As a Nuclear Free Local Authority the Council should be setting an example to others. 8 Nuclear weapon testing is an abuse of the environment. The Council can hardly pursue a policy promoting environmental protection local but disregard international practices whic'h destroy the environment. * Nuclear Testing threatens international security. The Chinese and French decisions to disregard their undertakings to the NNPT Conference diminishes the authority of the Treaty and encourages ofhcrs to @ore their interriatioiial oblipriolu. It is (he route 10 infeniafiotiali)iseciiri fy arid iricreascs die likelihood that other Sfdeswii! allenipt to aquire riticlear weapons. Reactions International - the South Pacific Forum (15 States), the US, Japan, Russia have condemned the French decision to resume testing. Japan has strongly condemned all recent Chinese tests. At a recent EU Foreign Ministers' meeting, 7 (not including UK) of the 15 member States condemned France. Two days after the French announcement, the EU Parliament ovenvhelmingly passed a resolution condemning the resumption of Nuclear Testing. TheGovernment sees no reason why Chinese or French Nuclear Testing should prejudice the conclusion of a CTBT by the end of 1996 (although the Environment Secretary, John Gummer, has said, in his view, the French have not made a convincing case for more tests). A number of Conservative MPs have backed EDM 1250 attached as Annex A The Labour Party has condemed French testing and a copy of the Statement issued by the Shadow Foreign Affairs spokesman is attached as Annex B. The 15 Socialist Leaders in the EU (inc. Tony Blair and the French Socialists) issued a statement from their meeting in Cannes (end June) calling on President Chirac to reverse his decision. About 100 Labour MPs (precise figure unclear at the time of writing) have backed the EDM 1248 attached as Annex A. The Liberal Democrats have not made an official statement but existing Party policy is: " Western rtucieor powers need to demonstrate by actions, riot just words, that they see no value iri corr firtuirig rruclear weaport developmertt prograntmes if fheyare to coirviiice noit rriicleur couritries 10 commit themselves to no jitrrre rnicleor testirig" .(Shared Seaiivp23) The SNP recently issued the policy statement attached at Annex C. Plaid Cymru have not issued a formal policy statement at the time of writing, but by telephone to the NSC Secretary, the Plaid Cymru Chief Executive descibed the Party as being "totally opposed" to any nuclear weapon testing. ***** Contact Officer: Stewart Kemp 0161 234 3324 24 July 1995 26 / 5266 Sotices of >lotions: 28th June 1995 No. 127 // 125 VALUE ADDED TAXcs I, NY~. ,vu IW, 14:6:95 ,/' Mr Tony Blair Mr John Prtscotl Mr Gordon Brown Mr Andrew Smith Dawn Primarolo ,Mr Alistair Darling * 19 v Mr George Mudie That an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, praying that the Value Added Tax (Tour Operators) (Amendment)Order 1995 (S.I.. 1995, No. 1495). dated 9th June 1995, a copy of which was laid before this House on 9th June, be annulled. 1248 FRENCH NUCLEAR WEAPO'VS TESTS 14:695 Mr Harry Cohen Ann Clwyd AIice Mahon Mr Tom Cox Mr Jim Cousins L Mr Chris Mullin * 97 Mr Norman Hogg Mr Nick Ainger Mr Cynog Dafit That this House deplores the decision of the Government of France to resume testing nuclear weapons in the South Pacific; notes the universal hostility to that decision by the countries in that area. who form a voluntary nuclear-free zone; considers that the safety of the weapons excuse proAered by France for resuming the tests is lame because there are plenty of computer simulations of nuclear explosions available, and the same argument could be used by any nuclear state following the introduction of a comprehensive nucltar test ban treaty thereby destroying such a treaty; further notes that these proposed tests run contrary to the obligations entered into by nuclear weapons states at the rccmt Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty conference; further notes that the response from No. 10 Downing Street to the announcement of these tests was a pathetic absence of any criticism whatsoever; and so this House urges the French Government to change its mind and abandon these deplorable nuclear weapons tests. 120 FRENCH NUCLEAR E.YPLOSIO,VS 14:6:% Sir Teddy Taylor Lynne Jones Mr John Evans Mr Elfyn Llwyd Mr Harold Elletson Mt Alex Carlile * 20 Mr Jamts Wallace Mr Lawrence Cunlifk Mr Peter L.

Professor Kevin Morgan, who chaired the Yes Campaign, is Administration: Helen Sims-Coomber, Clare Johnson especially damning. He lets us in to what he describes as “devolution’s dirty little secret”, its failure to make a fist of developing the Welsh economy. And the Design: statistics are incontrovertible. In terms of our prosperity relative to most other www.theundercard.co.uk parts of the United Kingdom, we’ve actually gone backwards in the first decade To advertise – declining from 77 to 75 per cent of the UK’s average GVA. When we started Tel: 029 2066 6606 out the Assembly Government’s stated ambition was to climb to 90 per cent by Institute of Welsh Affairs 2010, an aspiration that has been quietly dropped.

Tel: 029 2066 0820 Yet a narrow focus on the economy, important as it undoubtedly is, leads Email: [email protected] to a zero sum game. Devolution is about much more than that. And anyway, www.iwa.org.uk as Kevin Morgan himself concedes, the amount that government can do to The IWA is a non-aligned independent think- influence the economy will always be limited, especially a government with so tank and research institute, based in Cardiff with relatively little control over the main economic levers as the one in Cardiff Bay.

PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION IN THE INFORMATION AGE: THE CASE OF THE NATIONAL IDENTITY CARD IN THE UK Paul Beynon-Davies, European Business Management School, University of Wales Swansea, Singleton Park, Swansea, UK, [email protected] Abstract The informatics infrastructure supporting the Information Society requires the aggregation of data about individuals in electronic records. Such data structures demand that individuals be uniquely identified and this is critical to the necessary processes of authentication, identification and enrolment associated with the use of e-Business, e-Government and potentially e-Democracy systems. It is also necessary to the representation of human interactions as data transactions supporting various forms of governance structure: hierarchies, markets and networks.
