Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has plans to expand the National Shipbuilding Office.
The size and effectiveness of the National Shipbuilding Office (NSO) is regularly reviewed to ensure delivery against its remit.
The NSO has been highly effective in delivering on the National Shipbuilding Strategy Refresh.
For evidence of effectiveness, please see the answer I gave on 8 November 2023 to Question 93.
