Replied to a letter from Scotland's for Peace saying that he would vote against the replacement of Trident -
" The Liberal Democrats are firmly committed to voting against any like-for-like replacement for Trident. We hold this position not just because of the current economic situation, but also because Trident does not serve the realities of the military threats and responsibilities we currently face.

"I personally would vote against funding any new nuclear weapons systems."
