The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is the timeframe for the acquisition of three floating docks at Faslane.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Defence Investment Plan announced Programme Euston, a multi-billion-pound investment that will deliver three floating docks and associated infrastructure at HM Naval Base Clyde. This capability will support resilient out-of-water engineering for all Royal Navy nuclear-powered submarine classes and forms part of the wider Clyde Transformation Programme


Detailed delivery arrangements and programme schedules are being developed and will be taken forward in line with normal approvals and value-for-money requirements, with further information provided in due course.
