Labour — East Kilbride and Strathaven

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 March 2025

Debate

Defence Spending

Contribution

Does the Secretary of State agree that the SNP’s reckless pledge to scrap our nuclear deterrent at Faslane threatens our national security at a time of significant international volatility? The First Minister has said that Trident is of “no tangible or realistic benefit” to our current security challenges. Does the Secretary of State share my view that that stance is fundamentally naive, and demonstrates that the SNP cannot be trusted with Scotland’s future?
