Written question asked by Julian Lewis (Conservative) on Tuesday, 24 May 2005, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 7 June 2005. It was answered by Alan Reid (Liberal Democrat) on Tuesday, 7 June 2005 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Trident
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether it remains his policy that the decision to replace Trident with the next generation of the strategic nuclear deterrent will be taken before the end of this Parliament.
- Answer
-
The December 2003 Defence White Paper (Cm 6041, paragraph 3.11) indicated that it was likely that decisions on whether to replace Trident would be needed during this Parliament. As I said on 18 May 2005 during the Foreign Affairs and Defence Debate on the Gracious Speech, Official Report, column 247, that continues to be the case.
