Proceeding contribution from Bob Spink (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 4 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Iran.


Iran

The hon. Gentleman is making a thoughtful speech. In trying to build relations, gestures and actions are important, particularly in that part of the world. He will know that Iran’s uranium enrichment programme could eventually lead to nuclear weapons. Does he think that if this country, given its long-term non-proliferation objectives, were to put the Trident decision on hold, such a gesture would help Iran to further its future objectives on the weaponisation of its uranium?
