HC Deb 05 February 1986 vol 91 c182W
Mr. Best

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will give the current value both in financial terms and as a percentage of total expenditure on the replacement of the United Kingdom's nuclear deterrent, of the amount of work and materials which will be provided from the United Kingdom.

Mr. Norman Lamont

Approximately 55 per cent., or over £5,100 million by value, of the total estimated cost of Trident (£9,285 million at 1984–85 prices and at £1 =$1.38) is planned to be spent in the United Kingdom.
