Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Nuclear Deterrent.
Nuclear Deterrent
I welcome the Secretary of State's statement. He mentioned that the programme was of great national importance for the whole United Kingdom. A majority of our great nation want our national defences to be strong, and a nuclear deterrent is clearly a core part of that. It is also clear that we need to work alongside our European colleagues to have a strong deterrent. What discussions has the right hon. Gentleman had with them to ensure that the cost of maintaining the deterrent falls on the shoulders not only of the United Kingdom, but of some of our European colleagues?
