Trident
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will publish the options for the replacement of the Trident fleet together with projected costs in each case.
- Answer
-
Decisions on any replacement for Trident have not yet been taken. Such decisions are likely to be necessary in the current Parliament, although they are still some way off. Initial preparatory work is being undertaken by officials on possible options for the future of the UK's nuclear deterrent. However, Ministers have not yet begun to consider the position on this issue in any detail. It is therefore premature to speculate on the range of options that might be available and their potential costs.
