Nuclear Weapons in Europe: British and French Deterrence Forces in a European Context Has Come to the Fore in Recent Years
Questions about the meaning, role and utility of nuclear deterrence forces deterrence and French British in Europe: weapons Nuclear in a European context has come to the fore in recent years. Russia has reemphasized the role of a full-spectrum nuclear arsenal. This includes increased reliance on substrategic nuclear weapons for battlefield use, to compensate for its perceived inferiority in conventional armaments. In Europe, the main multilateral and intergovernmental institutions and cooperation have been put under strain as a result of several negative developments. As a consequence the UK and France, Europe’s two nuclear powers, are debating the role and composition of their respective deterrent forces. Multiple, complex security dilemmas, and the possibility that established alliances and partnerships might not be sufficiently reliable, inform the choices that have to be made. The study concludes that while the current arsenals will remain fundamental to national security, their long term futures are far from certain. Budgetary constraints, domestic politics, and strategic perceptions informed by national nuclear mentalities are the main factors determining the outcome and composition of French and British arsenals beyond 2030.

Landing the Punch of the Royal Marines
MODERNISING DEFENCE PROGRAMME The Government is now carrying out a major review of the UK’s strategic defence needs. This could have an impact on military personnel and assets in Plymouth, as well as the network of businesses that support the Naval Base and the Royal Dockyard. The launch of the Modernising Defence Programme came after months of speculation that two Devonport- based assault ships could be decommissioned and the Royal Marines reduced in numbers. The Modernising Defence Programme is looking at the UK’s defence needs in the context of the increasingly complex world security landscape. Plymouth is the Royal Navy’s centre of amphibiosity and as a city we need to continue to make the case for why this capability is vital to the UK’s defence. We are also submitting evidence to the Programme on the wider capability provided by HM Naval Base and Dockyard. You can help make the case by contributing to the Modernising Defence Programme public consultation which closes on 30 April 2018 (see next page). Landing the punch of the Royal Marines “The role of the Landing Platform Dock ships, Devonport-based HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark are able to deliver HMS Bulwark and HMS the punch of the Royal Marines around the world, as well as deliver Albion, is to deliver humanitarian aid in times of crisis.

Port of Plymouth Evidence Base Study: Executive Summary and Final
Port of Plymouth Evidence Base Study: Executive Summary Executive Summary Introduction Atkins Ltd was commissioned in November 2009 by Plymouth City Council (PCC) and its partners Devon County Council and Cattewater Harbour Commission, with support from the Tamar Estuaries Consultative Forum, to undertake a study of the Port of Plymouth. The study aimed to provide a robust evidence base which can be used to inform a range of future policies and plans in Plymouth and the South West region. Furthermore, should the decision be taken to prepare a masterplan for the Port of Plymouth, the study will provide a sound foundation from which the masterplan can be developed. This summary sets out the key points from the study findings. Purpose of Study Collectively, the four ports (Cattewater, Sutton Harbour, Millbay and Devonport) in Plymouth represent one of the South West’s and UK’s largest and most diverse ports. Whilst the ports all act independently they do have inter-related roles which have a significant combined impact on local, regional and national economic development and transport and, in the case of Devonport, also on our national defence capability. The study aimed to establish a robust evidence base of the four ports with a view to providing important input into a number of key policies and initiatives including: • Plymouth Local Development Framework (LDF) Core Strategy Review and relevant Area Action Plans (AAPs); • Local Economic Strategy Review; • South West Delivering a Sustainable Transport Strategy (DaSTS); and • Local Transport
