Historically the Astute Programme has suffered delays, as documented by the National Audit Office. Delays to the programme are predominantly due to the fact that BAE Systems and its supply chain had to re-establish the UK's nuclear submarine design, build, testing and commissioning capability following the ten-year gap after the delivery of the last Vanguard Class submarines, as well as addressing some unique technical challenges.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 27/06/2019 13:29:59 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
