Defence CommitteeWritten evidence from Margaret Dolan

I wish to express my great concern about the proposed alternative siting of trident in the event of Scottish independence or devolution.

The very existence of Trident is counter-productive to any genuine moves towards the ending of military conflict around the world.

This, therefore, is the ideal time to dispense with Trident altogether. One cannot justify the expenditure involved in maintaining or re-siting Britain’s weapon of mass destruction. It does nothing to face the real threats to our security, while positively promoting nuclear proliferation.
