April 2010 - Replied to a letter from Scotland's for Peace saying that he would vote against the replacement of Trident -

"I have always opposed nuclear weapons. I do not believe they offer a deterrent in the modern world. Nuclear weapons offer no strategic benefit and I believe that global disarmament is a goal that all nations should work towards. When the House of Commons voted on the retention of nuclear weapons in 2007 I voted against the Government and against the renewal of Trident. Nothing since then has changed by mind and I will continue to oppose the UK's retention of nuclear weapons."

2009 - Signed EDM 1883 calling for Trident to be included in the Defence Review. Signed EDM 660 calling for a delay in the Initial Gate of Trident Replacement.
