Should Britain have nuclear weapons? Does the UK need nuclear weapons? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4805768.stm
Tony Blair has set out plans for a new generation of nuclear-powered submarines to carry Trident missiles, although the number of warheads will be reduced by a fifth.
The lifespan of the current system ends in 2024 but MPs will vote on the white paper now to ensure the replacement, which could cost up to £20bn, is ready by then.
How important is an independent nuclear weapons system for UK security?
