HC Deb 29 June 1988 vol 136 c259W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has for the acquisition of a new air-launched nuclear missile.

Mr. Ian Stewart

Studies into a replacement for the United Kingdom's free-fall nuclear bomb are continuing. A number of options remain open to us. No procurement decisions have yet been taken, nor are any likely before the end of next year.
