Brown is smothering debate on Trident
Commenting on Gordon Brown's support for the replacement of Britain's independent nuclear strike capacity, Liberal Democrat Shadow Defence Secretary, Nick Harvey MP said: "Gordon Brown's posturing on Trident is smothering the national debate that this Government promised to the British people. Regular Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Questions have brought repeated denials from Ministers that work on options for Trident replacement has even started. The British people deserve a comprehensive White Paper and full parliamentary scrutiny of a scheme that may cost up to £25billion to replace."
