Proceeding contribution from Ronnie Campbell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 December 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Trident.


Trident

As a Member of Parliament who does not believe in weapons of mass destruction even though they might be a deterrent because I do not think that we would ever dare use a deterrent that would destroy the world, I want to know whether the Prime Minister thinks that the money spent on them would be better spent on tackling poverty in Africa—and poverty in this country after last week’s report—and pensions for old people?
