Scotland: Disarmament MSP Kidd calls on Labour for Trident clarity

SCOTTISH Labour must make up its mind on Trident renewal, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament said yesterday after a senior nationalist slammed the party for dithering.

SNP MSP Bill Kidd has written to Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale asking her to clarity her party’s position.

Ms Dugdale has said that the policy on Trident is “deliberately unclear” pending the potential of a debate at Scottish Labour’s annual conference later this month.

“This has been another week of absolute chaos for the Labour Party on the issue of Trident,” said Mr Kidd, who leads the Parliamentarians for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament group.

“It’s time for Kezia Dugdale and Labour to stop misleading the people of Scotland on the issue.”

CND leader Kate Hudson said: “Scottish Labour should be aware of the overwhelming mandate Jeremy Corbyn received for scrapping Trident during the election campaign.”
