Defence Select Committee Inquiry into the future of Trident
The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) is committed to the peaceful political resolution of intractable disputes within the international rule of law. We are opposed to the development, maintenance, or use of nuclear weapons as an instrument of international policy. While we welcome the existence of this inquiry we are disappointed that neither MOD Ministers nor their senior civil servants have given evidence on an issue where Government perceptions of strategic imperatives are so crucial to a decision.
