Trident

Asked if it was correct that MPs would not be given a vote option by option, the PMOS said that what the Prime Minister had said was these were matters that would be discussed through the normal channels. This was a step by step process; there would be discussion of the strategic context, then a white paper and then a debate and a vote. Asked if there would be a presentation by Des Browne to Cabinet on this, the PMOS said he would brief on Cabinet, after Cabinet, not before Cabinet. Asked, as it would be a Government proposed motion, would the vote be whipped, the PMOS said he would not be drawn. Asked if the PMOS could confirm that Trident would be on the agenda for Cabinet this Thursday, the PMOS reiterated that he would brief on Cabinet after the event, not before.
