Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 February 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Strategic Defence Review (Green Paper).
Strategic Defence Review (Green Paper)
If I may say so, I found the Secretary of State's statement rather depressing. There was no mention of a peace process, no mention of international law, and no mention of the United Nations. How on earth can one have a review of defence capabilities without including the nuclear question and the replacement of Trident, which forms such a massive part of our future expenditure? We could save £76 billion over the next 20 years by cancelling the Trident programme, so helping to bring about world disarmament.
