<p>The Secretary of State for Defence announced the acceleration of the procurement
of the first Multi-Role Ocean Surveillance ship during Defence Oral Questions on 7
November 2022. For reasons of commercial confidentiality, I am at the present time
unable to comment further on the contractual position or delivery schedule of that
ship, as to do so would be prejudicial to the commercial interests of the Ministry
of Defence and other parties. Planning work has commenced for the concept and assessment
phase of the project for the second Multi Role Ocean Surveillance capability.</p>
