Scrap Trident, urges union leader
Updated on 03 July 2009
Billions of pounds could be spent on public services and helping hard-working people through the recession if the Government scrapped Trident and ID cards, a union leader will declare.
The country does not want or need the nuclear submarines or national ID scheme, according to Dave Prentis, general secretary of Unison.
He will say: "Trident costs £1.5 billion a year to run and a replacement will cost more than £40 billion. This is a criminal waste of money that the country clearly cannot afford."
