Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions he has had with (a) Cabinet colleagues and (b) relevant stakeholders on (i) the threat of nuclear war and (ii) possible de-escalation strategies.
The Government considers the avoidance of war between Nuclear-Weapon States and the reduction of strategic risks as our foremost responsibilities.
The Secretary of State regularly holds discussions with the Cabinet colleagues and relevant stakeholders on a range of national security and defence issues. For security reasons, I cannot publicise the detail of these discussions.
