Menzies Campbell has today launched his review of options for the future of Britain’s nuclear weapons policy.

Welcoming the review, Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg said:

“After wide consultation with security policy experts, Menzies Campbell has produced a thoroughgoing analysis which clearly demonstrates that there are credible alternatives to the like-for-like replacement of Trident.



“This report destroys the myth perpetuated by Labour and the Conservatives that Britain has to choose between full-scale Trident or unilateralism.



“Excluding Trident from the defence review is both absurd and irresponsible.”
