| Views on nuclear weapons: |
| Replied to survey in November 2006 saying he was not opposed to upgrading or replacing Trident and said "There is little doubt that the UK nuclear deterent has given us peace in Europe and hastened the end of the Cold War. Although costly I believe in the current international unrest we need to have this. I do not like war as it hurts the innocent so believe a debate is needed" |
| Trident Debate 21 December 2006: |

Voted against an SNP motion and a Lib Dem amendment. Both called on the UK Government not to go ahead at this time with the proposal to replace Trident.
By voting this way he prevented the Parliament from taking a stand against Tony Blair's plan to replace Trident submarines in 2024 and to keep nuclear weapons in Scotland until 2055.
