The aim of this study was to obtain basic information in a systematic way on the characteristics and opinions of marchers attending the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) London Demonstration on 6 June 1982. This was in part aimed at assessing to what extent media comments on such marchers were representative.

Main Topics:

Variables cover age, sex, origin, social class, working status, voting preference, membership of local peace groups, of political parties, of trade unions, and of churches. Questions were also asked on whether people who were members of these groups/organisations were active in promoting nuclear disarmament in their organisation. Opinion questions were asked on unilateralism, whether the UK should stay in NATO, and on British policy in the Falkland Islands.
