Written question asked by Daniel Kawczynski (Conservative) on Friday, 1 June 2007, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 7 June 2007. It was answered by Lord Browne of Ladyton (Labour) on Monday, 11 June 2007 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Russia: Nuclear Weapons
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what discussions he has had on recent ICBM tests undertaken by Russia; what assessment he has made of the implications of such tests for UK defence policy; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
[holding answer 7 June 2007]: I have had no such discussions. The tests have no significant implications for UK defence policy, as Russia already possesses multiple warhead ICBMs. The tests do not represent an introduction of a new capability, but a gradual replacement and enhancement of an existing one.
