Debate on the Address

I am pleased that the right hon. Gentleman mentions the non-proliferation treaty. Is he fully aware that the terms of the 1970 treaty also include within it an obligation on the five declared nuclear weapons states to undertake long-term disarmament? In that light, is it right for his party, or indeed anyone else, to support this country’s re-armament with an increased nuclear capability? Should we not be showing the way on the NPT by adhering to it ourselves?
