Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the statement by the Prime Minister on 19 November 2020 that they are “taking forward … plans for eight Type 26 and five Type 31 frigates, and support ships to supply our carriers” (HC Deb, col 488), why they have not yet ordered the remaining planned Type 26 frigates.
I refer the noble Lord to the reply I gave him on 16 December 2020, in response to Question HL11193.
