Lord McDonald and LSE academics warn against planned increase in nuclear weapon stockpile
The UK will have stepped back from its obligations under the nuclear non-proliferation treaty if it goes ahead with plans to increase its nuclear arsenal, the civil servant who was in charge of the Foreign Office until last autumn has warned.
The surprise conclusion by Lord McDonald, the former permanent secretary at the Foreign Office, has been backed by two academics at the London School of Economics who were commissioned to examine Johnson’s pledge by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND).
