Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 22 November 2006. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Debate on the Address.
Debate on the Address
I am pleased that the right hon. Gentleman mentions the non-proliferation treaty. Is he fully aware that the terms of the 1970 treaty also include within it an obligation on the five declared nuclear weapons states to undertake long-term disarmament? In that light, is it right for his party, or indeed anyone else, to support this country’s re-armament with an increased nuclear capability? Should we not be showing the way on the NPT by adhering to it ourselves?
