Trident Submarines: Iron and Steel
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 18 October 2016 to Question 48618, how much UK steel content will be secured through the 85 per cent BAE System supply chain in the UK.
- Answer
-
With the scale and complexity of the submarine programme, it is too early to be able to provide an estimate of the steel that could be supplied or manufactured by UK-based steel providers.
BAE Systems, as the Prime Contractor, will manage the future steel procurements for the Dreadnought class submarines. We encourage British steel suppliers to take the opportunity to bid.
