Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, of making a dry dock in Gibraltar available for use by Royal Navy nuclear submarines.

Analysis of docking capacity for the maintenance of Submarines and Warships is the subject of ongoing analysis as part of the Royal Navy’s planning process - the Naval Support Integrated Global Network (NSIGN) Programme is an integral part of this.

There are no current plans to mandate the use of Gibraltar for Submarine Dry Docking.
