USA: Nuclear Weapons
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether US nuclear weapons based in the UK are under the sole command of US military authorities.
Answered by Luke Pollard
It remains longstanding UK, US and NATO policy to neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons at any location. US nuclear weapons forward-deployed in Europe remain under US custody and control, in full compliance with the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
