§ Mr. Corrieasked the Secretary of State for Defence what impact a decision to acquire the Trident D5 missile would have on the proposed Trident armament depot at Loch Long.
§ Mr. NottIn planning for the Loch Long depot we have taken account of the possibility that D5 might at some point supersede C4. On present planning assumptions, the depot will, therefore, be able to accommodate the D5 missile. Some changes may, however, be required to its design and layout as our planning develops. The environmental impact of such changes will, of course, be an important consideration.
