On 14 March 2007 voted for the Government motion which called for the renewal of Trident

Replied to survey in November 2006 and said:

"Like most people, I would like the removal of all nuclear weapons and any other weapons of mass destruction potential. Unfortunately, they will not simply disappear, nor will the knowledge that created them.

However, I do not believe that not upgrading or replacing Trident will discourage ‘rogue states’ from developing or acquiring weaponry. Since the end of the Cold War a large amount of weapons grade nuclear material has become available. In recent years a number of countries have joined the ‘nuclear club’.

It is difficult to see how leaving that club to which we have belonged for about 50 years would make us safer.

Unless these rogue states believe there is an effective deterrent, then the outcome in the present climate could be catastrophic.

I have heard the argument that the real threat to this country is from terrorist groups who have multinational bases.  Whilst that may be true, at least in part, the threat from countries with nuclear weapons remains.

Your campaign is important in enabling people like me to remain balanced in considering my thinking about some of the most threatening and unstable times the world has faced."
