CND hits out at Cameron’s backroom Trident renewal
Campaigners accused the government of deceiving taxpayers yesterday as dodgy new backroom Trident replacement deal was revealed.
The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) denounced David Cameron’s Cabinet for signing a new contract despite parliamentary discussions on whether to replace the nuclear programme taking place in a year’s time.
The group’s general secretary Kate Hudson said: “We now have a £37 million contract which the government didn’t tell us about, placed without parliamentary authorisation, for nuclear missile tubes that the government told us wouldn’t exist.”
