Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent assessment he has made of the effect of delays to the Dreadnought programme on defence capability; and if he will make a statement.
Similar to all Defence programmes, the Dreadnought submarine programme is continuously assessed. Despite the effects of Covid-19, the Dreadnought programme remains on track for the First of Class, HMS Dreadnought, to enter service in the early 2030s.
