Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent progress his Department has made on negotiations with Norway for the potential sale of Type 26 frigates to the Norwegian Navy.
His Majesty's Government and the Royal Navy are working jointly with BAE Systems on options to support Norway's future Frigate Programme.
We are actively supporting the promotion of the Type 26 Global Combat Ship design to other navies around the world with a similar requirement.
