The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the planned completion date is of the Dreadnought-class submarines.

Answered by Maria Eagle

The planned in-service dates for Royal Navy submarines are withheld as disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness, or security of the Armed Forces.

The Dreadnought programme remains on track for the First of Class, HMS Dreadnought, to enter service in the early 2030s.
