Trident plan wins Commons support

BBC

The government said a decision on Trident must be taken now

The government has won Commons support for plans to renew the UK's nuclear submarine system, despite a large rebellion by Labour MPs.

Tony Blair had said it was "essential" the UK began the £20bn plan to renew Trident as soon as possible.

After six hours of debate, 409 MPs supported the proposals, and 161 were against - a majority of 248.

Earlier 413 MPs had rejected a bid to delay the decision, with 95 Labour rebels among 167 MPs wanting a delay.

There were 16 former ministers, including four ex-Cabinet members.

On the government's motion to proceed with renewal there were 88 Labour rebels
