Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 19 October 2026 to Question 32194 on Nuclear Submarines: Procurement, what were the Government Furnished Assets that were a) not available to the supply chain when required and b) where contractual arrangements for coordinating provision across multiple industrial partners were still being refined.

The Government Furnished Assets (GFA) primarily related to design data, technical information and supporting programme information, for example technical design documents, operating procedures and books of reference to enable training design. This information was not available in the expected timeline required to support the initial development of courseware by the contractor.
