<p>As set out in the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review, we are taking steps
to manage the defence nuclear enterprise and ensure the Successor submarines are delivered
to time and budget. As part of this, we have established a new Director-General Nuclear
to act as single and accountable focal point within the Ministry of Defence for all
aspects of the defence nuclear enterprise. We are also establishing a new submarine
delivery body for the procurement and in-service support of all nuclear submarines,
including the Successor submarines. We have deliberately moved away from a traditional
single 'Main Gate' approach, to a staged investment approach with multiple control
points. This will enable us to better regulate and control programme funding and delivery.</p><p>The
rollout of the Successor submarines supports the programme to maintain a Continuous
at Sea Deterrent.</p>
