Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many docks in the UK are able to hold Dreadnought class submarines for (a) repairs and (b) maintenance.

There is a strategy in place to upgrade infrastructure and provide suitable docking for the new Dreadnought Class submarines across existing UK naval bases and dockyards.

For operational security reasons further details cannot be released as to do so could be used to undermine the security and capability of our Armed Forces.
