Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will adopt a no first use policy in relation to the UK's nuclear weapons capability; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 7th September 2017
The UK has neither a first use nor a no first use policy for our nuclear weapons.
It is essential that we do not assist our potential adversaries by defining precisely when, how and at what scale we would contemplate employing them in the most extreme circumstances of self-defence, including the defence of our NATO allies.
