On 18 May 2011, the then Secretary of State for Defence, the Right Hon. Member for North Somerset (Dr Liam Fox) made an oral statement to the House (Official Report column 351) announcing the approval of the Initial Gate investment stage for the procurement of the successor submarines to the VANGUARD class SSBNs. He also placed in the Library of the House a report "The United Kingdom’s Future Nuclear Deterrent: The Submarine Initial Gate Parliamentary Report".
