Lord Astor of Hever
My Lords, the Type 26 will be the workhorse of the future Royal Navy. It is in its assessment phase. I understand that the main investment decision will be made in the middle of the decade. The aspiration is that Type 26 will be in service by 2020, and the number we are hoping to have is 13.
Baroness Wilcox
Can the Royal Navy still deploy and support a Royal Marines brigade, given what the Minister has just said?
