Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department has assessed the risk of a reduction in the Royal Navy frigate force resulting from the withdrawal of Type 23 frigates before the entry into service of replacement Type 26 and Type 31 frigates.

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 17 July 2026 to Question 17101 to the hon. Member for Huntingdon (Mr Obese-Jecty).
