Devonport Dockyard: Repairs and Maintenance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent progress his Department has made on implementing the Submarine Waterfront Infrastructure Future programme.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The Submarine Waterfront Infrastructure Future (SWIF) programme will deliver substantial infrastructure upgrades at HM Naval Base Devonport, as part of a wider significant investment programme to restore capacity and resilience to support the maintenance of our submarine fleet. The design phase of the SWIF programme is coming to a close and we are now starting the construction stage. This comes on the back of the restoration of 9 Dock to undertake submarine deep maintenance and 15 Dock to enable operational maintenance.
