Nuclear Submarines

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether there are times when more than one Trident submarine is on deterrent patrol; and if he will make a statement.
Answer

I have nothing further to add to the statement at Box 2-1 of the White Paper on the future of the United Kingdom's nuclear deterrent (Command 6994), published on 4 December 2006, that:"““Normally, only one Trident submarine is on deterrent patrol at any one time””."
