Proceeding contribution from Malcolm Rifkind (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 September 2010. It occurred during Backbench debate on Strategic Defence and Security Review.
Strategic Defence and Security Review
I welcome the Minister's extremely reassuring remarks. In that context, I note the intensive press reports stating that the Treasury has pressed for the capital costs of Trident to be met from—presumably—the existing core budget of the Ministry of Defence. Is that the case, and, if we are to have both a conventional military and the independent nuclear deterrent, is it possible?
