UK's Nuclear Deterrent

Proceeding contribution from Baroness May of Maidenhead (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 July 2016. It occurred during Debate on UK's Nuclear Deterrent.

Yes. The whole point of a deterrent is that our enemies need to know that we would be prepared to use it, unlike the suggestion that we could have a nuclear deterrent but not actually be willing to use it, which seemed to come from the Labour Front Bench.
