Proceeding contribution from Baroness Beckett (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on Trident.
Trident
My hon. Friend is entirely right and, if I may say so, displays her engineering expertise and understanding of how the industry works. The decision to be made by the House is not on anything other than the political, strategic and security needs of the country. However, it is also necessary to take into account the industrial implications, and those implications certainly reinforce rather than weaken the case for making a decision now.
