Proceeding contribution from Bob Ainsworth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 October 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Strategic Defence and Security Review.


Strategic Defence and Security Review

Is not the Prime Minister doing precisely what he criticises with regard to Trident? He is putting off the decision and delaying the expenditure, thereby increasing it. He has also cancelled the Nimrod aircraft, rendering our nuclear deterrent less than invulnerable. How is that sensible, never mind strategic?
