Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much of the £5 billion funding for his Department announced on 13 March 2023 will be allocated to the Dreadnought programme.

Of the £5 billion announced by the Prime Minister, £3 billion in additional funding will be invested across the defence nuclear enterprise.

The Department is currently working through the allocation of this funding, but the existing funding mechanism for Dreadnought is already well established.
