Trident Submarines
(asked on 10th March 2021) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of the cost to the public purse of the delay to replacing the Trident nuclear submarines.
This question was answered on 15th March 2021
As set out in 2020 Annual Update to Parliament on the UK’s future nuclear deterrent, the Dreadnought submarine programme continues to remain within overall budget and on track for the First of Class, HMS Dreadnought, to enter service in the early 2030s.
There will be no compromise to the UK’s continuous at sea deterrent, and no consideration has been given to revising the timetable to replace the Vanguard Class.
