Proceeding contribution from Thomas Docherty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Nuclear Deterrent.
Nuclear Deterrent
The Secretary of State has demonstrated that he is a principled and honourable man. Does he therefore understand the concern on both sides of the House, and indeed in the country, that given the decision not to have carrier capability for more than a decade, as the First Sea Lord confirmed last week to the Select Committee on Defence, we could, for financial reasons, have no continuous deterrent at sea because the decision will be postponed for so long that it becomes financially unviable?
