HC Deb 13 December 1994 vol 251 c573W
Mr. Jim Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make it his policy to keep the United Kingdom's nuclear deterrence under constant review.

Mr. Soames

We continue to keep our defence policy as a whole under review. We believe, however, that our nuclear forces continue to provide the ultimate guarantee of this country's security and remain an important element of NATO's strategy of war prevention.
