The UK's 1998 Strategic Defence Review recommended that a process of declassification and historical accounting of the UK's defence fissile material produced since the beginning of the defence nuclear programme should be carried out. A report on the first phase of this process, covering Plutonium, was published in April 2000. This report on the second phase of this process covers High Enriched Uranium (HEU) used in defence programmes. Full text of the report is available here.
