Written question asked by Tessa Munt (Liberal Democrat) on Thursday, 9 September 2010, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 13 September 2010. It was answered by Nick Harvey (Liberal Democrat) on Thursday, 16 September 2010 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Trident
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether his Department has conducted a review of the UK's policy of maintaining Trident nuclear submarines on continuous at-sea deterrent patrol; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
The Trident value for money review covers value for money, not policy. Against that background, implementing continuous at sea deterrence has always been a matter of acceptable operational risk. The review will test the balance between these risks and the cost of maintaining a continuous at sea deterrence posture.
