- Answer
-
Alan Simpson: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many new scientific posts are being created at AWE; and what their role is in weapons research. [118400] Dr. Moonie: Posts to be created over the next few years will be primarily to enable recruitment of graduates who will, in time, replace existing scientists, a number of whom are due to retire. The actual numbers of graduates to be recruited will depend on the success of AWE's recruitment campaign and the suitability of candidates. The role of AWE is to support United Kingdom nuclear weapons policy as set out in the 1998 Strategic Defence Review.
