Type 26 Frigates

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, (a) when and (b) where the Type 26 frigates will be built; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

I refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my noble Friend, Earl Howe to the noble Lord, Lord West of Spithead, in the House of Lords to Question HL 3905 on 3 December 2015.

As explained in the White Paper 'National Security Strategy and Strategic Defence and Security Review 2015 (Cmd 9161)', the T26 GCS programme will be crucial to the future of the UK's warship-building industry and form a central part of the national shipbuilding strategy which is to be published in 2016. This strategy will confirm the arrangements for the build programme of the T26 GCS.
