Trident Submarines
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of the value of efficiencies created for the Dreadnought class ballistic missile submarine as a result of cooperation with the United States.
- Answer
-
The UK has benefited greatly from the long-standing collaboration on nuclear deterrence and nuclear propulsion with the US. Under the 1958 Mutual Defence Agreement, both nations are able to exchange information and material which enables us to maintain safe, secure and effective nuclear stockpiles, propulsion and weapons systems. Collaboration and co-operation brings enormous advantages for both parties.
