Defence in the World

I am listening carefully to what my hon. Friend is saying and it is bringing back all my yesterdays in the 1980s Labour party—I still have some of the scars from those days. He argues for unilaterally giving up our nuclear deterrent, which is fine and I respect him for that. However, in his last comment he argued for a cheaper version of the nuclear deterrent. He cannot argue that we should give up the deterrent, yet say that a cheaper option could be available to deal with possible threats from failed states such as North Korea.
