Proceeding contribution from Peter Viggers (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 December 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Trident.


Trident

In welcoming this hard decision, I ask the Prime Minister to reassure us that he truly understands the philosophy of deterrence, which is complicated and tough. For instance, does he agree that our negotiating position is always strongest when we keep all our military options open, which is the opposite of what we did over Iran?
