Labour — Liverpool Garston

Speaking in the House of Commons on 25 June 2025

Debate

Nuclear-certified Aircraft Procurement

Contribution

No, our continuous at-sea deterrent has been the policy of both governing parties for many years and that has not changed. The announcement today is about our joining the NATO nuclear mission, which carries US weapons that are already accounted for under the non-proliferation treaty. This is not about increasing the number of nuclear weapons that we hold, so it is not, therefore, a breach of the non-proliferation treaty.
