Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Fleet Solid Support Ship contract, how many subsystems of the Team Resolute bid will be procured in Spain.
The prime contract for the Fleet Solid Support ships has not yet been awarded and thus no sub-contracts have been awarded for sub-systems. The ships will primarily be built in the UK to protect the UK's essential security interests. It is estimated that 25 UK small and medium enterprises are set to benefit from the contract including the provision of specialist systems, software and equipment.
