The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to his Written Ministerial Statement of 1 April 2025 on Defence Reform, HCWS573, what the detailed changes to the Chief of Defence nuclear portfolio will be as a result of Defence Reform.

Answered by Maria Eagle

There are no changes proposed to the Chief of Defence Nuclear portfolio at this time.

Whilst the Defence Nuclear Enterprise (DNE) structures remain the same, it will continue to work as an integrated enterprise as part of One Defence and use Defence Reform to strengthen the DNE's collaboration across Defence.
