Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will now make public the conditions under which Trident missiles are to be made available to the United Kingdom.

The Minister of State for Defence Procurement (Lord Trefgarne)

Trident II missiles are to be supplied to the UK under the terms of the (1963) Polaris Sales Agreement, as revised in October 1982 to cover acquisition of the Trident II weapon system. Copies of the relevant documents are held in the Library of the House.
