UK, France to sign joint nuclear testing treaty
The UK and France are to sign a treaty agreeing to the joint development and testing of nuclear warheads.
The plans include one centre set up in the UK to develop technology and another in France to carry out the testing.
The English and French Prime Ministers will also outline plans at a London summit, for a joint army expeditionary force.
“This summit marks a deepening of the UK-France bilateral relationship. Ours in now a strategic partnership tackling together the biggest challenges facing our two countries,” a Downing Street spokesman said.
On the other hand, the Labour said that the plans for a joint army force left "big questions" over the UK's defences.
