Type 26 Frigates: Procurement
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government whether BAE Systems will run two building streams of Type 26 frigates to ensure that Royal Navy and Norwegian Navy delivery dates are met.
- Answer
-
The recent announcement by the Norwegian Government to select the UK as a strategic partner for the acquisition of Type (T26) warships is expected to provide a £10 billion boost to the UK economy and support more than 400 British companies.
Both the Royal Navy and Norwegian Navy T26 frigates will be built simultaneously by BAE Systems on the Clyde, benefitting from investments already made, such as the Janet Harvey Shipbuilding Hall in Govan. The new Shipbuilding Hall will improve schedule performance and the pace of delivery, reducing the time between future ship deliveries for both the UK and Norway.
