Conclusions
Announcements are due soon on 3 / 4 subs & Initial Gate.

The new Government will decide on the scale of modernising (or replacing) the Trident warhead.
Cost is a key issue. Can’t yet say “the money is already spent”.
The next six months will be a key time for the future of the British nuclear weapons’ programme.
Trident should be included in any Defence Review.
