Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 July 2016. It occurred during Ministerial statement on NATO Warsaw Summit.


NATO Warsaw Summit

The Warsaw conference underlined NATO’s concept of deterrence. Does the Secretary of State agree that for deterrence to be effective, it has to be credible, and that any suggestion that our nuclear deterrent could be delivered other than by continuous at-sea deterrence would not only lead to its credibility being questioned, but threaten the nuclear posture of deterrence by NATO?
