Written question asked by Michael Moore (Liberal Democrat) on Monday, 10 October 2005, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 13 October 2005. It was answered by Lord Reid of Cardowan (Labour) on Friday, 14 October 2005 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


Nuclear Deterrent

Question
(2) whether a final decision on the replacement of Trident will be subject to a vote of the House; and whether he expects that the decision will be made during this Parliament.
Answer

[holding answer 13 October 2005]: While decisions on the long term future of the UK nuclear deterrent are likely to be necessary in the current Parliament, they are still some way off. It is therefore too early to say what formal or informal procedures might be used to underpin future decision-making by the Government in this area.
