Nuclear Weapons: Procurement
- Question
-
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the answer of 18 June 2026 to question 10074 on Nuclear Weapons: Procurement, what his Department's planned timetable is for completing their part in the development of cost estimates regarding the Astraea programme.
- Answer
-
Given the significant work involved in developing a new warhead, I do not expect that we will be in a position to complete costs estimates in this Parliament as the hon. Gentleman has requested. This is a multi-decade programme to support our nuclear deterrent.
