Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to support the (a) production and (b) development of the Dreadnought-class ballistic missile submarines; and whether he is taking steps to accelerate the programme.
Like all major defence programmes, the Dreadnought Class submarine programme is regularly assessed for opportunities to de-risk schedule and improve performance. The programme remains within its overall budget and on track for the First of Class, HMS Dreadnought, to enter service in the early 2030s.
