Written Answers
Dockyards: Construction
Asked by: Lord Beamish (Labour - Life peer)
Monday 5th January 2026

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the number of shipbuilding jobs in Britain that will be secured by the procurement of floating docks under Programme EUSTON.

Answered by Lord Coaker - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence)

With design work already underway, the Department intends to place a contract for the manufacture of the floating docks following production of the technical specification and upon completion of a procurement process.

While not formally under the scope of the National Shipbuilding Strategy, the analogous shipbuilding sector is well placed to participate in an upcoming procurement for the floating docks. As such, the National Shipbuilding Office has been consulted as part of the next investment decision point. Until the outcome of that next investment decision point is known, it is too early to provide information on job creation.
