Evidence Received

During the course of its work, the Commission will seek submissions of evidence from interested parties. Written submissions, with the permission of those submitting evidence, will be published here and organised by theme.These are the initial questions that we are seeking submissions on, and we will be adding more as the commission’s work progresses:

1) Should the UK remain a nuclear weapon state?
2) If it should, is Trident renewal the only or best option that the U.K. can and should pursue?
3) What more can and should the U.K do to more effectively promote global nuclear disarmament, non-proliferation and nuclear security?

We are now in the drafting stage of the Commission. To guarantee that we are able to take account of written evidence submitted to the Commission, we will need to receive it by the end of January 2013.

To submit evidence to the Trident Commission you can either e-mail [email protected] (please add ‘TRIDENT COMMISSION EVIDENCE’ in the subject title) or, post your submissions to:

BASIC TRIDENT COMMISSION

Evidence has been received from:

 

“BASIC’s depth of knowledge and administrative competence makes it an excellent partner in the field of military nuclear capability and arms control”

Sir Jeremy Greenstock, GCMG British diplomat

“At a time when transatlantic relationships are under tension, BASIC's role as a source of authoritative analysis is more important than ever.”

Baron Rees of Ludlow Astronomer Royal

“BASIC makes a vital contribution to sustaining recognition that nearly 35 years after the end of the Cold War nuclear weapons continue to put at risk the future of humankind. BASIC is especially to be commended for doing this by fostering dialogue and understanding.”

Peter Jenkins CMG UK Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency 2001-06

``For about 35 years, in the pursuit of nuclear disarmament, BASIC have championed the cause of mutuality of security. Their ability to engage diversity of views and opinion has attracted deserved admiration.``

Baron Browne of Ladyton Vice Chairman, Nuclear Threat Initiative and former UK Secretary of State for Defence

``For more than three decades, BASIC has challenged conventional thinking on national security matters, and inspired new ways of addressing and solving old problems. I expect it to continue to play this vital role for decades to come.``

Andreas Persbo Director, Open Nuclear Network
