Trident: Defence Secretary refuses to give test missile details
Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon has refused to divulge "operational details" of what happened during a Trident test last June.
It is reported that a missile went off course, but the government has not confirmed or denied this.
Theresa May was told about the test when she became prime minister in July, shortly ahead of MPs voting overwhelmingly to renew Trident.
Sir Michael told the Commons he had "absolute confidence" in the system.
Labour and the SNP have urged the government to explain whether the test firing from HMS Vengeance went wrong.
