Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the effect of the covid-19 pandemic on the timescale to decommission nuclear submarines in Rosyth.
We are working closely with our industry partners to minimise the impact of COVID-19 on our submarine programmes.
It is currently estimated that there is likely to be minimal impact on the overall timescale to dismantle the decommissioned nuclear submarines in Rosyth.
