Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what milestones remain before HMS Dreadnought enters service.

As I hope the hon. Gentleman will already have realised, providing the dates of key build milestones for Dreadnought would, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces. Dreadnought will be ready to enter service in the early 2030s.
