Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 24 March 2021 to Question 170597, whether any of the new warheads part of the planned increase to the UK's nuclear weapons stockpile ceiling will be capable of tactical use.

It will remain the case that none of the United Kingdom's nuclear weapons are designed for tactical use during conflict. The nuclear deterrent exists to deter the most extreme threats to our national security and way of life, which cannot be deterred by other means.
