Proceeding contribution from Pete Wishart (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on Trident.


Trident

As the right hon. Gentleman knows, the submarines are to be based in Scotland, which has the greatest opposition to the renewal of Trident. Some 80 per cent. opposed it in the last opinion poll. Why should the submarines be based in Scotland; and would he respect the views of the Scottish people as expressed through their Parliament, if it decided to vote against Trident?
