Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to figure 3 of the report from the National Audit Office entitled The Defence Nuclear Enterprise: a landscape review, published on 22 May 2018, HC 1003, if he will publish a breakdown by programme of forecast expenditure for that Enterprise in 2023/24.
In collaboration with HM Treasury, the Ministry of Defence is in the process of establishing a definition of the nuclear enterprise for reporting purposes that will encompass the majority of the Ministry of Defence nuclear spend. This spend will form a separate line in the department’s Supply Estimates.
