Trident

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the net book value is of a single Trident warhead.

Answer

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 4 September 2013, Official Report, column 409W. The total net book value of the nuclear warhead stockpile is £273.7 million. There is no common net book value for individual warheads due to differing levels of depreciation.

The standard application of net book value takes account of depreciation which depends on individual assets' in-service dates.
