Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the retirement dates are of each of the 13 Type 26 frigates.
In replying to this question, I have assumed that the hon. Member is referring to the Type 23 Frigates. I refer the hon. Member to the answer given by my predecessor the former Minister of State for Defence Procurement (Mr Philip Dunne) on 1 March 2016 to Question 28004 to the hon. Member for Islington South and Finsbury (Emily Thornberry).
