Campbell on Trident: ‘today is not the day’

By the founding editor | Mon 4th December 2006 - 8:21 am

Menzies CampbellToday Menzies Campbell will call for no final decision on Trident before 2014, while halving our capability to one hundred warheads and three submarines before then.

“There is no need to rush to judgement on a replacement for Trident.

“The decision can be delayed, as the Defence Select Committee has already concluded.

“We can maintain the present system with half the number of warheads and still provide the necessary insurance for Britain’s security, while making a real contribution to the cause of multilateral disarmament.”
