Written Question
Trident Submarines: Decommissioning
Thursday 28th January 2016

Asked by: Neil Gray (Scottish National Party - Airdrie and Shotts)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the most recent estimate is that his Department has made of the (a) civilian public sector, (b) civilian private sector and (c) military personnel required to work on the decommissioning of the Vanguard class submarines; and how many of those workers will be employed on decommissioning.

Answered by Philip Dunne

The UK's Vanguard Class submarines will begin to leave service by the early 2030s as the Successor submarines are introduced into service. The detailed planning necessary for this work has yet to commence and it is not therefore possible at this time to make an assessment of the workforce that will be required.
