Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on NATO Summit.


NATO Summit

Does the Prime Minister not agree that the greatest causes of problems in this world are poverty, instability and the competition for resources? The NATO summit has set itself on a path of nuclearisation, a missile defence system and an alliance that includes virtually all the major industrial countries of the world. Should we not be looking in the other direction, towards peace, disarmament and a stable world based on those objectives, rather than towards vast expenditure on new nuclear weapons and missile defence?
