Replied to letter from Scotland's for Peace -

" The Conservative position is clear - we are committed to keeping and replacing the submarine-based nuclear deterrent and it is the only programme that will be exempt from the defence review. The new deterrent will enter service in the 2020s and will likely be in service until the 2050s. No-one can predict what will happen over that time and the nuclear deterrent serves as an insurance policy against nuclear blackmail. It is also an unfortunate reality that the proliferation of nuclear weapons remains an significant issue in current international affairs. The concerns shared by the international community over North Korea and Iran illustrate this. Given this reality we feel it would not be wise to be contemplating to scrapping our nuclear deterrent and we feel this expenditure is crucial for the security of this country.
