Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what are the expected dates for the Dreadnought-class of SSBN submarines to be in service.
As set out in the 2019 Annual Update to Parliament on the UKs future nuclear deterrent, the Dreadnought submarine programme is on track for the First of Class, HMS Dreadnought, to enter service in the early 2030s. The planned in-service dates of submarines are withheld as disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces.
