Proceeding contribution from Mike Gapes (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 July 2016. It occurred during Debate on UK's Nuclear Deterrent.
UK's Nuclear Deterrent
I congratulate the right hon. Lady on becoming Prime Minister. Will she confirm that, when the Labour Government of Clement Attlee took the decision to have nuclear weapons, they had to do so in a very dangerous world, and that successive Labour Governments kept those nuclear weapons because there was a dangerous world? Is it not the case that now is also a dangerous time?
