Dear Violetta Pau,

Thank you for sending me your views regarding possible expenditure on Trident replacement. I concur with what you say and indeed am opposed to nuclear weapons in principle. I am pleased to say that the Liberal Democrats as a party have moved towards a position questioning the desirability and need for Trident replacement and I will continue to campaign for disarmament both within the party and as your MP if I am returned at the general election.

Yours sincererly,.

Thanks for your email. I would personally skip the review and simply scrap our nuclear arsenal.

We don't need them, we don't want them, they cost too much, and they weaken our moral standing to persuade others to get rid of them. I have argued strongly for these positions for years.

If we couldn't secure agreement simply to scrap them, then I would of course support the issue being part of a review, and would argue my case within that.

I hope that helps to explain my views.

Yours,

Julian

During a debate sponsored by the Chatham House thinktank this week, Bob Ainsworth, the defence secretary, insisted Trident must be preserved. Liam Fox, the shadow defence spokesman, did not demur, though he held out the prospect of a cut in the number of nuclear warheads.

Now if that is the consensus among the libs then its role over and give in time if we are ever up against the wall
I cannot trust them and never will.
