UK Border Force: Patrol Craft
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to the National Shipbuilding Strategy in the procurement of vessels for Border Force.
- Answer
-
We are continuing to engage suppliers on the basis of a UK-led build, using the Defence and Security provisions within the Procurement Act 2023 where appropriate. This approach is consistent with the government's commitment to back British businesses and a sustainable and successful shipbuilding and maritime technology sector and to ensure value for money and deliverability. My officials are working closely with the National Shipbuilding Office.
