The British government has announced that it had set a limit of 225 warheads for its nuclear weapons stockpile and it would re-examine its policy on use of nuclear weapons. British Foreign Secretary William Hague told parliament that the ceiling on operationally available nuclear warheads would stay at 160 and the extra warheads were to allow for processing, maintenance and logistic management. He also said the new coalition government would review Britain's policy on when it would consider using nuclear weapons as part of a wide-ranging defense and security review.
