Written question asked by Mike Hancock (Liberal Democrat) on Wednesday, 10 September 2008, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 17 September 2008. It was answered by Lord Browne of Ladyton (Labour) on Monday, 29 September 2008 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


Trident Missiles

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many Trident warheads were operationally available at the latest date for which figures are available; and when that number fell below 160.
Answer

[holding answer 17 September 2008]: The UK has fewer than 160 operationally available Trident warheads. I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 15 November 2007, Official Report, column 366W. I am withholding further information as its release would, or would be likely to, prejudice national security.
