Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is the estimated cost of the upgrade of submarine docking facilities at Devonport Dockyard; and when that work is due for completion.
The cost of the current endorsed programme for upgrading submarine docking facilities at Devonport Dockyard is approximately £3 billion.
The opening of 9 Dock in September 2024 is the latest of a number of significant investments in Devonport. A range of other upgrade works will continue over the next five years. We are also examining what future further investments will be required to meet future demands.
