The Government takes its responsibilities for maintaining a credible nuclear deterrent extremely seriously and continually conducts assessments to ensure that the credibility and standards for safety, security and operational effectiveness are met. It would not be appropriate to comment on any further details as this could allow conclusions to be drawn on the UK's capabilities.
