HL Deb 14 April 1983 vol 441 c392WA
Lord Jenkins of Putney

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Poseidon submarines based on Holy Loch in Scotland are counted in the "theatre" nuclear weapons balance.

Lord Belstead

No. Poseidon is a strategic system. It was counted in SALT by agreement between both sides and is under negotiation in START.
