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


Trident

There is a precedent for this debate, which was the full debate that was held four years ago in 2007, in which a significant number of MPs from my party—100—voted against the replacement of Trident. Every other debate was initiated by Back Benchers, some of whom are present today. That is the function of Parliament, and I hope that, when the Minister replies, he will be able to assure me that there will be regular statements to update Parliament.
