"David Seddon said on 25/6/10 that £30 billion would be saved at once if Trident were cancelled. I understand that the £30 billion is the cost over 20yrs so it would be a much less dramatic saving. Otherwise I support what he says.

DOROTHY FORSYTH said… - TRIDENT AND THE STRATEGIC DEFENCE AND SECURITY REVIEW
26.05.2010
That this House welcomes the Government's intention to hold a strategic defence and security review; notes with concern the stated intention to conduct it without giving due consideration to the role of nuclear weapons in ensuring the defence of the UK; believes that not only does the commitment under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty require nuclear weapons and disarmament to be considered within the framework of the review but that the threat of spending cuts to the defence and other Government budgets makes this all the more important; and urges the Secretary of State for Defence to ensure that the review includes both the UK's ongoing possession of nuclear weapons and the replacement programme

If we need to save money, then the government should cut Trident expenditure and withdraw from Afghanistan and Iraq.
