Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Nuclear Deterrent.

Nuclear Deterrent

The Secretary of State rightly says that the ““first duty of any Government is to ensure the security of their people””. If it really is the case, as he also says, that the ““nuclear deterrent provides the ultimate guarantee of our national security””, does he accept the logic of his own argument, which means that all nations should seek to acquire nuclear weapons to ensure the security of their people and does he look forward to a world in which every nation is nuclear-armed?
