HC Deb 15 June 1990 vol 174 c382W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) what manufacturing materials are used in increased quantities at the atomic weapons research establishment, Cardiff, following the transfer of work from the atomic weapons research establishment, Aldermaston, to the atomic weapons research establishment, Cardiff;

(2) what increase there has been in the percentage by value of the Trident D5 warhead programme at the atomic weapons research establishment, Cardiff, by virtue of the transfer of work from the atomic weapons research establishment, Aldermaston.

Mr. Neubert

There has been a small increase in the non-fissile workload at AWE Cardiff associated with the Trident warhead production programme. For security reasons it would be inappropriate to quantify this in either material or cost terms.
