Submarines: Decommissioning
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when he plans to announce next steps for the Submarine Dismantling Programme.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The demonstrator submarine, SWIFTSURE, remains on track to be fully dismantled by the end of 2026. There are six further defueled Pressurised Water Reactor 1 (PWR1) submarines awaiting dismantling in Rosyth.
Further announcements about dismantling the remaining PWR1 submarines will be made at the appropriate time.
