Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will take steps to review the UK's nuclear weapons policy.

The United Kingdom’s nuclear deterrent exists to deter the most extreme threats to our national security and way of life, which cannot be deterred by other means. It will remain essential for as long as the global security environment demands.

We continually review our nuclear deterrence posture in light of the international security environment and the actions of potential adversaries, to ensure we can meet the threats facing the UK and our NATO allies.
