HC Deb 15 January 1980 vol 976 c710W
21. Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretaryof State for Defence what is the most recent estimate of the cost of a replacement for Polaris.

Mr. Pym

As I indicated earlier in answer to the hon. Member for Salford, East (Mr. Allaun), the Government have not yet made a decision on a successor to Polaris. Obviously the cost of a possible successor varies between the options and is a factor in choosing between them.

22. Mr. van Straubenzee

asked the Secretary of State for Defence when he expects to be able to announce a decision on the replacing of Great Britain's Polaris submarines.

Mr. Pym

Within the next few months.
