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


Trident

No. We are legally obliged to undertake such discussions by a legally binding treaty. The talks are only two years away. Indeed, I understand that there will be a prep conference in May. It is extraordinary that we should unilaterally be deciding effectively to begin the process of rearmament within weeks of a legally binding obligation to begin multilateral negotiations on non-proliferation.
