Officially the UK government is not yet acting on a replacement warhead when the Trident missile system becomes obsolete in the not so distant future. In response to a written parliamentary question Des Browne, Secretary of State for Defence, said that "the Atomic Weapons Establishment [AWE] is not engaged in the development of any new warheads". The government has also promised a debate before any work on a Trident replacement takes place.

There is also the argument, one that is considered trivial in American but which is taken more seriously here, as to whether the UK's commitment to disarmament, under the non-proliferation treaty, precludes any developmental work at all.
