§ Ms. RuddockTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will set out the key statistics for accidents involving the road transportation of nuclear weapon convoys over the last 10 years.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonIt has been the practice of successive Governments neither to confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons at particular places and times. I cannot, therefore, give statistics of accidents involving the transport of nuclear weapons. There has never been an accident involving damage to a nuclear weapon in the United Kingdom.
