The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when is the expected completion of the four Dreadnought Class submarines at Barrow.

Answered by Luke Pollard

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 14 November 2025 to Question 83062 to the hon. Member for Huntingdon (Mr. Obese-Jecty):

The Dreadnought Class submarines will begin to enter service from the early 2030s. 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.
