Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what his Department's expected timescale is for the completion of work to upgrade the infrastructure at HMNB Devonport.
The Submarine Waterfront Infrastructure Future (SWIF) programme is investing in infrastructure at Devonport to support the maintenance of the Royal Navy's Astute Class submarines. The facilities being provided include a new non-tidal maintenance berth in 5 Basin, a refurbished 10 Dock and supporting buildings and services. The work for the SWIF Programme is due to be complete in 2027.
