Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment the Government has made of the industrial strategy required to continue to deliver the UK's nuclear deterrent.

I refer the Hon. Member to the Defence and Security Industrial Strategy, published on 23 March and available at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/defence-and-security-industrial-strategy, which outlines this Government’s strategic approach to the UK’s defence and security industrial sectors, including that delivering and maintaining our nuclear deterrent.
