Replied to survey in November 2006 saying he was opposed to the upgrading or replacement of the Trident.
On 8 December 2006 said he told BBC TV - "I just think in the new world, we don't actually need this kind of weapon. .. I think we ought to try and get rid of the weapons we have through multi-lateral disarmament rather than encouraging proliferation through new investment in armaments."
