Nuclear Deterrent
- Question
- Whether the decision has been taken in principle in favour of a new generation strategic nuclear deterrent.

Labour's recent general election manifesto spelled out our commitment to the retention of the independent nuclear deterrent. However, as I confirmed to the House on 18 May, no decision on any replacement for Trident has been taken, either in principle or otherwise.
