question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the Government plans to support the construction of a frigate factory on the River Clyde.
tabling member constituency	Glasgow South
tabling member printed	Stewart Malcolm McDonald
uin	180803
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2018 answer text <p>The previously proposed Modern Dock Hall, referred to colloquially as the 'Frigate Factory', was thoroughly investigated by BAE Systems but ultimately they concluded that the cost and level of associated risk did not represent value for money. The Ministry of Defence was consulted and agreed with their conclusion.</p><p>The National Shipbuilding Strategy was clear that all Royal Navy warships will be built and integrated in the UK. The Type 26 frigates are being built on the Clyde, securing a total of 4,000 jobs across the UK supply chain and 20 years of work. Since 2010 this Government has invested more than £6 billion in shipbuilding in the UK, securing thousands of jobs. In 2018-19 we expect to spend in excess of £750 million supporting the fleet.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 30/10/2018 15:18:55 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew previous answer version 81206 answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
