Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell of Pittenweem (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 March 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Defence.


Defence

I am sure that my hon. Friend has not forgotten the important issue of continuous at-sea deterrence and whether four submarines are necessary. Has he noticed that the Prime Minister has floated the idea of having three instead? That rather suggests that the unqualified enthusiasm for the project on the Labour Benches may not be mirrored in No. 10 Downing street.
