Last week, the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons made it into the House of Lords when Baroness Sue Miller asked a question about the UK Government’s support of the Treaty.
The Government reiterated its commitment to a long-term goal of nuclear disarmament, but also stated that they would be maintaining Trident as long as ‘the global security situation demands.’
The Lord Bishop of St Albans said this:
Can the Minister comment on the moral inconsistency, whereby we have rightly taken a stand on outlawing cluster bombs and landmines but not outlawing nuclear weapons, which, as we know, are far more destructive when they are used?
