LONDON, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Britain said on Monday it would
retake control of the operation of the country's nuclear
deterrent from a private consortium comprising Lockheed Martin
, Serco and Jacobs Engineering.
"The change in model will remove the current commercial
arrangements, enhancing the MoD's (Ministry of Defence) agility
in the future management of the UK's nuclear deterrent, whilst
also delivering on core MoD objectives and value for money to
the taxpayer," the government said.
Serco earlier on Monday said the consortium would lose the
contract.
