The Prime Minister and Defence Secretary have welcomed Royal Navy submariners home following the completion of the UK's latest nuclear deterrent patrol. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Defence Secretary John Healey MP joined the First Sea Lord, and Chief of Defence Nuclear on the Clyde to welcome home the Vanguard-class submarine as it returned from patrol.
