Proceeding contribution from Baroness Beckett (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on Trident.

Trident

That depends, of course, on whether the House votes for this motion. If it does, we are committing ourselves to making that reduction by the end of this year. I hope that that is a reassurance to my hon. Friend. [Interruption.] There is no need for a window; the window runs to the end of this year. If the motion is carried today, we are committing ourselves to that further 20 per cent. reduction in warheads.
