Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Julian Lewis (Conservative). It was answered by Liam Fox (Conservative) on Monday, 14 March 2011 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


Trident Replacement Programme

Question
What progress he has made on the implementation of the Trident replacement programme.
Answer

The programme to replace the Vanguard submarine completed the initial concept studies, and we expect an announcement on initial gate approval in the coming weeks. There remain ongoing discussions, which have simply taken longer than it was anticipated a few months ago. It is important, given the size of the project, that we get the decision right.
