Type 26 Frigates: Exports
(asked on 7th December 2021) - View Source
Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what estimate he has made of the export value of the Type 26 frigate in the latest period for which figures are available.
This question was answered on 15th December 2021
The Type 26/Global Combat Ship is a formidable design with significant potential for export. Australia and Canada have both selected a variant of the T26 for their anti-submarine frigate programmes, which is expected to result in substantial economic and security benefits. However, as the commercial arrangements are ongoing, the Department for International Trade is not yet able to provide the requested export value.
