:00:08. > :00:14.In the last few minutes, MPs in the House of Commons have
:00:15. > :00:16.voted overwhelmingly in favour of renewing Brtain's Trident
:00:17. > :00:19.All but one of Scotland's MPs opposed it.
:00:20. > :00:21.Our political correspondent Nick Eardley, is at Westminster
:00:22. > :00:40.As you say, an overwhelming victory for the UK Government tonight. 472
:00:41. > :00:45.MPs voting for the renewal of those submarines, just 117 voting against.
:00:46. > :00:50.I expect the UK Government will now move forward with the project fairly
:00:51. > :00:57.quickly. But despite that majority tonight, the vast majority of
:00:58. > :01:01.Scotland's MPs voted against. The only MP from a Scottish constituency
:01:02. > :01:06.who back the proposals was the Scottish Secretary, David Mundell.
:01:07. > :01:11.Today's debate was heated at points. The Labour Party was split on this
:01:12. > :01:15.issue. There were significant questions over what the cost of this
:01:16. > :01:23.programme would be. I have been taking a look at the arguments.
:01:24. > :01:31.Faslane nuclear base, outside bars go. This is where the UK Government
:01:32. > :01:35.plans to store submarines for the next three decades. Outside
:01:36. > :01:38.Parliament tonight, those who oppose their existence. The campaign for
:01:39. > :01:44.nuclear disarmament once the money is spent elsewhere. But the Prime
:01:45. > :01:49.Minister's view is that eight nuclear deterrent is essential.
:01:50. > :01:52.Britain's nuclear deterrent is something we cannot do without. We
:01:53. > :01:58.cannot compromise our national-security and we cannot
:01:59. > :02:04.outsource our response ability for keeping our people say. And we
:02:05. > :02:10.cannot give in to idealism. The nuclear button. Mrs Maywood have to
:02:11. > :02:15.give the decision on whether it is pressed. Let's cut to the chase.
:02:16. > :02:23.Issue willing to give the order that would cause the death 100,000 men,
:02:24. > :02:27.women and children. Yes. And I say to the honourable gentleman, that
:02:28. > :02:31.the whole point of a deterrent is to show our enemies that we would be
:02:32. > :02:38.prepared to use it. There is the question of the cost. The Ministry
:02:39. > :02:44.of Defence says it will be ?31 million -- 30 ?1 billion up front.
:02:45. > :02:51.There is a contingency as well. Antinuclear campaigners think the
:02:52. > :02:55.cost would be higher. CND estimated could be ?205 billion over the
:02:56. > :03:01.lifetime of the submarines. One MP says it is the lack of clarity which
:03:02. > :03:06.is the problem. I find it utterly remarkable that a number of hours
:03:07. > :03:08.into this debate, we still have no idea whatsoever of what the through
:03:09. > :03:16.life cost of Trident replacement are? Polls suggest there is a split
:03:17. > :03:22.in public opinion in Scotland on the submarines. But all bar one of
:03:23. > :03:30.Scotland's MPs was prepared to oppose the renewal? . What message
:03:31. > :03:37.would Scotland be sending by saying we don't want Trident on our soil?
:03:38. > :03:42.That means that 58 all of the 59 Scottish MPs would be voting against
:03:43. > :03:45.jobs in Scotland. The UK Government will look to begin work on building
:03:46. > :03:50.new submarines as quickly as possible. But despite tonight's
:03:51. > :03:55.wrote, it is unlikely that we have heard the last of this debate.
:03:56. > :04:03.And already it seems that this debate will continue, the SNP's
:04:04. > :04:06.Angus Robertson has said, Scotland's MPs have made their opinions
:04:07. > :04:13.perfectly clear and calling for the weapons to now the removed from
:04:14. > :04:17.Scotland, from the Faslane naval base. I expect it is unlikely that
:04:18. > :04:22.the UK Government will accept that call. Ministers have told me that
:04:23. > :04:27.they have no contingency plans, they have nowhere else that they could
:04:28. > :04:31.send the weapons. It also seems likely that that long-running debate
:04:32. > :04:36.over Trident, something that has dominated so much of our politics
:04:37. > :04:39.recently, will continue. Thank you very much.
:04:40. > :04:41.For the people of who live and work at Faslane,
:04:42. > :04:44.the renewal of Trident is not just about the issue of
:04:45. > :04:48.Craig Anderson spent the day there - and at nearby Helensburgh -
:04:49. > :04:50.to find out what the local community thinks.
:04:51. > :04:53.The genteel shores of Helensburgh, a tranquil air to the place.
:04:54. > :04:56.Strange in a way to remember that we are only a few miles away
:04:57. > :05:01.Some here abhor the idea of what they regard as weapons
:05:02. > :05:14.Others see the Trident system as a weapon of mass protection for us
:05:15. > :05:16.all. Most of the people who work
:05:17. > :05:19.there are civilians. They are coming in from Glasgow
:05:20. > :05:23.and the surrounding areas. There are possibly not very many
:05:24. > :05:26.people from Helensburgh. I don't like it at all and would
:05:27. > :05:29.prefer it to be out of here, If you take Trident away,
:05:30. > :05:39.it will go downhill so fast Thousands work behind the wire here,
:05:40. > :05:47.both military and civilian. Those who support Trident
:05:48. > :05:49.and the maintenance of Faslane's role say the economic
:05:50. > :05:53.significance to this area Almost 11,000 jobs depend
:05:54. > :05:59.on Faslane, and there are 2000 more to come
:06:00. > :06:03.through the Maritime That is about 12,500 jobs direct
:06:04. > :06:26.and indirect or shops Some argue that binning Trident
:06:27. > :06:32.would not necessarily spell In fact, transforming it
:06:33. > :06:35.into a conventional port could bring even greater benefits for this
:06:36. > :06:38.part of the Clyde coast. If we got rid of this and turned it
:06:39. > :06:41.into a surface base, got that on the Clyde,
:06:42. > :06:43.using different areas, black areas like Dumbarton and areas
:06:44. > :06:45.with high unemployment, The Faslane naval base has been such
:06:46. > :06:49.a prominent and permanent part of the landscape here for decades,
:06:50. > :06:52.many in the community have grown up But its fundamental purpose -

:08:06. > :08:10.to have come down the street The police say that there
:08:11. > :08:15.are reports that the driver had got out of the bus to remonstrate
