Contact your new MP
The new government has asked for the people's views on what cuts should be made. There's one clear candidate: stop spending taxpayers' money helping arms companies sell their weapons. In the lead up to the election you helped us reach candidates in nearly 50% of constituencies to call for the closure of the government's arms trading unit, UKTI DSO. Now our MPs are elected we need to make sure they all hear our message loud and clear. Please email your MP today using our easy email tool.

Ask your MP to sign EDM 460
On the day the budget announced big cuts in public services, Conservative Minister Peter Luff said there's no "embarrassment in this government" about selling arms, and pledged a “very, very, very heavy ministerial commitment to the process”. We think the government should be embarrassed that military equipment continues to be promoted and exported to countries with appalling records on human rights and to countries involved in conflict. A group of MPs agree and have signed EDM 460 to say so. Please ask your MP to sign today!

Email Vince Cable about government support for arms exports
What will the new government do about its arms trading unit, the UKTI Defence & Security Organisation? Your action could be a deciding factor! Last year, the Conservatives said they wanted to increase the support given to arms exports, and use arms sales 'as a foreign policy tool' - a truly alarming prospect. But, in the past, many senior Liberal Democrats have supported our campaign to end government support for arms exports, including Vince Cable, now the Minister responsible for UKTI. This is a real opportunity to shift the balance - if we put the pressure on now. Please take one minute to email Vince Cable today »Take action
