Quotes of the Week

"How can you possibly take on such a large financial commitment as Trident without considering the military and political implications? If fierce cuts are to be made in Britain's conventional forces, surely we have to consider whether replacing Trident can be justified."

Sir Menzies Campbell

Response to announcement that the Ministry of Defence will be responsible for the cost of replacing Trident - 30 July
