The requested information is provided in the table below. Details of the planned duration of each refit period before work commenced could be provided only at a disproportionate cost. The data required would have to be collated from a number of sources, some of which are no longer readily accessible. In addition, some of the data required remains commercially sensitive. It should be noted that the duration of any refit period is highly dependent on multiple factors including the planned scope of the work, shaped by the age and operating profile of the vessel; the extent of emergent work, which cannot be forecast before the refit commences; and by external factors such as Covid shutdowns.<table><tbody><tr><td>Ship</td><td>Contractor</td><td>Start</td><td>End</td><td>Duration (Months)</td></tr><tr><td>HMS PORTLAND</td><td>Babcock</td><td>Nov-11</td><td>May-13</td><td>19</td></tr><tr><td>HMS IRON DUKE</td><td>BAE Systems</td><td>Feb-12</td><td>Nov-13</td><td>22</td></tr><tr><td>HMS SOMERSET</td><td>Babcock</td><td>Apr-12</td><td>Mar-13</td><td>12</td></tr><tr><td>HMS SUTHERLAND</td><td>Babcock</td><td>Oct-13</td><td>Jun-15</td><td>21</td></tr><tr><td>HMS ST ALBANS</td><td>BAE Systems</td><td>Apr-13</td><td>Aug-14</td><td>17</td></tr><tr><td>HMS WESTMINSTER</td><td>BAE Systems</td><td>Oct-14</td><td>Mar-17</td><td>30</td></tr><tr><td>HMS MONMOUTH</td><td>Babcock</td><td>Jan-14</td><td>Sep-15</td><td>21</td></tr><tr><td>HMS MONTROSE</td><td>Babcock</td><td>Mar-14</td><td>Jul-15</td><td>17</td></tr><tr><td>HMS ARGYLL</td><td>Babcock</td><td>May-15</td><td>Apr-17</td><td>24</td></tr><tr><td>HMS NORTHUMBERLAND</td><td>Babcock</td><td>May-16</td><td>Apr-18</td><td>23</td></tr><tr><td>HMS KENT</td><td>Babcock</td><td>Oct-16</td><td>Oct-18</td><td>25</td></tr><tr><td>HMS LANCASTER</td><td>Babcock</td><td>May-17</td><td>May-20</td><td>36</td></tr><tr><td>HMS RICHMOND</td><td>Babcock</td><td>Sep-17</td><td>Mar-20</td><td>30</td></tr><tr><td>HMS SOMERSET</td><td>Babcock</td><td>Oct-18</td><td>May-22</td><td>43</td></tr><tr><td>HMS PORTLAND</td><td>Babcock</td><td>Apr-18</td><td>May-21</td><td>37</td></tr><tr><td>HMS IRON DUKE</td><td>Babcock</td><td>May-19</td><td>Jun-23</td><td>49</td></tr></tbody></table>

Although Autumn Budget 2018 announced a reduction (applying from October 2019) in the overall maximum rate of deductions from Universal Credit from 40% to 30%, the maximum proportion of Universal Credit which can be deducted for claimant rent arrears has not changed and remains between 10 and 20 per cent.
