Views on nuclear weapons:

On 14 March 2007 voted against the Government motion which called for the renewal of Trident

Likely to follow Menzies Campbell's lead and vote against the Government's proposal.

Replied to survey in November 2006 and said:

"The Liberal Democrats believe we should
· Retain the current Trident system but cutting Britain’s nuclear weapons by half, retaining only up to 100 warheads.
· Extend the life span of the current Trident system and keep options open on a final decision until at least 2014 in order to allow a clearer picture to develop with regard to nuclear proliferation and to threats to Britain, its neighbours and allies.
· Use the cut in warheads to kick-start multilateral disarmament talks and send a strong signal to non-nuclear weapons states that Britain takes its obligations under the Non-Proliferation Treaty seriously.
· Favour the most cost effective replacement for the current Trident system being a submarine system based on the Trident missile of 3 boats carrying no more than 24 warheads each."

Supported EDM 1113 calling for a debate on Trident replacement

Lib Dems are carrying out a review of party policy with a decision due at their conference in Spring 2007.
