Proceeding contribution from Lord Walney (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 April 2019. It occurred during Debate on Continuous At-Sea Deterrent.
Continuous At-Sea Deterrent
They do, absolutely. It makes it very hard to imagine why a future Labour Government would continue to pour in the billions of pounds that would be needed to maintain the deterrent once they had rendered it useless.
Let me once again thank the people of Barrow, in particular, for the amazing work that they have done in serving the nation for over 100 years of the nuclear submarine, 50 of which have maintained our policy of continuous at-sea deterrence.
