Project Astrea
(asked on 10th October 2025) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is the projected cost of Project Astrea in this Parliament.
This question was answered on 20th October 2025
Funding for the Astraea programme is included within the £15 billion investment in the sovereign nuclear warhead programme this Parliament, announced in the 2025 Strategic Defence Review. That investment also includes sustaining our current Mk4A warhead and modernising the associated infrastructure.
However, I am withholding the projected cost of the Astraea programme in this Parliament for the purpose of safeguarding our national security.
