Rosyth Dockyard

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what his planned timescale is for the provision of the Contingent Docking Facility at Rosyth.

Answer

The preliminary plans for infrastructure upgrades at Rosyth Dockyard have been approved and industry has been engaged to begin processing the scheme design.

Once the scheme design is complete, final costs for the project will be negotiated. The work will include the requirement to deliver a Contingent Docking Facility at Rosyth Dockyard for HMS Dreadnought during its sea trials. The planned timescale for the provision of the Contingent Docking Facility will coincide with Dreadnought’s exit from Barrow.

For operational security reasons further details cannot be released as to do so could be used to undermine the security and capability of our Armed Forces.
