This question was answered on 7th November 2016
I refer the hon. Members to the statement made by my right hon. Friend the Defence Secretary on 4 November 2016 (HCSW237).
The Type 26 Programme will deliver a new generation of cutting-edge warships for our Royal Navy at best value for taxpayers.
The UK Government’s commitment will secure hundreds of high-skilled shipbuilding jobs on the Clyde for at least two decades and hundreds more in the supply chain across Britain.
