Proceeding contribution from Gordon Prentice (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 July 2005. It occurred during Debate and Adjournment debate on Defence in the World.
Defence in the World
On that point—not on the issue that I wanted to raise earlier, because we have moved away from that, have we not?—does the Secretary of State agree with William Perry, the former Defence Secretary in the Clinton Administration, that there is a better than 50 per cent. chance of a nuclear explosion on US soil because terrorists have managed to get their hands on fissile material? What are we doing to safeguard and protect the fissile material that is scattered around all over the place in the former Soviet Union?
