Vote Out Trident - 2010 General Election
 |
Conservative Party |
"We support the decision to renew Britain’s
submarine-based nuclear deterrent, based on
the Trident missile system."
- Conservative Party Manifesto
The Conservative Party supported the Labour Government in 2007 when the proposal to renew Trident was passed by the House of Commons.
The Conservative Defence spokeperson, Liam Fox, has said that they will keep a submarine-based nuclear force on patrol at all times.
A like-for-like replacement for Trident has been questioned by a number of Conservative MPs including David Davis, Patrick Mercer, Nicholas Soames and James Arbuthnott.
