<p>The following dry-dock facilities in the UK are of a sufficient size to accommodate
the Queen Elizabeth Class (QEC) aircraft carriers:</p><p> </p><p>Able UK, Seaton Port,
Teeside; Babcock, Rosyth; Cammell Laird, Birkenhead; Cammell Laird, Greenock (Inchgreen);
Harland and Wolff, Belfast.</p><p> </p><p>Plans for the dry-docking of QEC aircraft
carriers are currently under consideration as part of a commercial competitive process.
It would be inappropriate to comment on which locations are under consideration until
that process has been concluded and a contract has been awarded, as to do so would
prejudice commercial interests. For the same reason I cannot comment on any engagement
with industry in relation to the dry-docking of QEC aircraft carriers.</p>
