MOOTED plans to nationalise parts of the Trident supply chain show that the government has a “strange set of priorities,” the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) said yesterday.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) could take over Sheffield Forgemasters, one of Britain’s oldest steel-making companies, The Times has reported. 

The CND said it is “widely thought” that the firm produces many steel components for the nuclear-armed submarine fleet.
