Type 26 Frigates
- Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether there has been a change to the Government's policy that the type 26 frigates will be built in Scotland; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer

The Government is committed to the future of shipbuilding in the UK. Complex warships for the Royal Navy are only built in UK shipyards.
