Proceeding contribution from Willie Rennie (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 March 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Defence.
Defence
I have answered the second question, and the hon. Lady knows the answer to the first—we have been over it before. The skills base would not have been affected if we had made the decision at the beginning. We did not need to make all the decisions then, and the main gate decision was the important one. Britain said that Trident would go ahead no matter what the 2010 non-proliferation treaty said, which was simply misguided.
