Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what are the (a) initial operating capability and (b) full operating capability dates for Project Selborne.

Project Selborne is a transformation in the way that the Royal Navy delivers its training, unlocking more opportunities for them to fulfil their potential and get better trained people to the frontline, quicker.

The Selborne contract began on 1 April 2021, with training immediately available until the end of the contract on 31 March 2033. There is provision to amend training provision according to the Royal Navy's requirements, however amendments will not effect the contract's end date.
