		For the first decade of the next century, at least, Aldermaston's main task will be stewardship of the warhead, which is expected to remain in service beyond 2020.

		By starting a program of nuclear verification at Aldermaston, and by collaborating with the United States, Britain would be buying into a disarmament process, as distinct from a refusal even to discuss dismantling its nuclear weapons, typical of the former government.
