Type 32 Frigates: Procurement

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the in service date is for the first Type 32 frigate.

Answer

The Type 32 programme has not yet reached the level of maturity to publish specific In-Service dates, as is consistent with a programme of this size and complexity at this stage in its development.

On current plans the Type 32s are due to enter service in the 2030s.
