Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Julian Huppert (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Monday, 8 November 2010 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Trident Replacement
- Question
- Will the Secretary of State assure me that no binding contracts will be entered into, as we have seen with aircraft carriers and the disgraceful contract in that case, so that if—as I hope—the next Parliament realises that we do not want or need to replace Trident, it will be able to do so at no huge expense?
- Answer
-
The Government's position is quite clear: we will replace the nuclear deterrent and we will replace it with an update of the Trident programme. It is unavoidable that, when we get to initial gate, contracts on the design at least will be placed.
