Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government when the new body to deliver procurement of the successor submarines will be stood up; whether it has been decided what form the new delivery body will take, and whether the government of the US has been consulted; and whether they will establish that body via primary legislation.

Options for the new organisations continue to be developed and assessed. We expect to announce further details later this year, once the relevant decisions have been made.
