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

Trident

The House has listened to what my right hon. Friend has said about the weapons and the possibility of reducing from four to three submarines. But will he acknowledge my concern that the announcement that the UK will upgrade its nuclear weapons system will weaken our efforts to persuade other states to stay non-nuclear and could undermine the world’s non-nuclear proliferation mechanisms?
