§ Mr. Frank CookTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether he has decided to extend the life of the Trident warhead beyond the expected service life; and what plans he has to extend the life of the submarine beyond the expected service life. [29954]
§ Mr. IngramNo such decision has been made; as with other key military capabilities, we routinely undertake studies into options for achieving the optimum operational life and value for money.
