Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 December 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Trident.


Trident

I would be happier if we killed off the whole project straight away—but I suspect that that might not happen. I also draw to the House's attention the fact that the Secretary of State for Defence has announced that he has no plans to publish the Trident alternatives review, which was commissioned to please the Liberal Democrats, who went into the last election promising not a like-for-like replacement of Trident, but something different. We do not know what that something different might be. The review will not be published, which is astonishing. I hope that, when the Minister replies to the debate, he can explain why that is the case.
