Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 24 January 2022 to Question 107718 on Submarines: Decommissioning, which of the decommissioned Royal Navy submarines that are stored at Devonport Dockyard will be the second to be recycled as part of his Department’s dismantling programme.
A demonstrator submarine is being used to define and refine the dismantling process now taking place at Rosyth dockyard. As that programme of work progresses, the outcomes will provide more certainty on the sequence of dismantling of the de-commissioned submarines based at Devonport.
