Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of the cost to the public purse of extending the service life of HMS Trenchant as a result of delays in the delivery of the fourth Astute-class submarine.
I refer the hon. Member to the answer given by my hon. Friend, the previous Minister for Defence Procurement (James Heappey) in the House of Commons on 6 February 2020 to the hon. Member for Brighton, Pavilion (Caroline Lucas) in response to Question number 10351.
