Well, yes; but nuclear weapons are BIG money

And who's to say they wont spend more money elsewhere - possibly not on helicopters, which might also have invaluable peacetime usage; but probably on the latest smart weaponage from our good friends in the US.

Or waste it on privatising things like the defence procurement agency.

Or on even more madcap-bound-to-fail-IT-systems

One thing you can rely on (especially with New Labour) is that they will piss money away on something pretty useless, but off balance sheet.
