HC Deb 15 March 1995 vol 256 c586W
Mr. Cousins

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which of the other four acknowledged nuclear weapons states(a) publicly provides figures for the numbers of nuclear weapons and warheads it deploys and (b) measures its nuclear capability in terms of explosive power rather than warhead numbers.

Mr. David Davis

In May 1994, President Mitterand gave figures for the numbers of French operational nuclear weapons and warheads. The US Government have released information on the total explosive yield of the US nuclear weapon stockpile. Neither Russia nor China has, to our knowledge, made official statements on the size of its stockpiles.
