The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that no changes are currently planned for the Chief of Defence Nuclear portfolio, despite wider organisational reforms underway across the department.
In response to a written question from Conservative MP James Cartlidge, Minister of State Maria Eagle stated: “There are no changes proposed to the Chief of Defence Nuclear portfolio at this time.”
She added that while the Defence Nuclear Enterprise (DNE) structures remain the same, the enterprise 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.”
