question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department has plans to accelerate the Power Improvement Project, in response to the current availability of Type 45 destroyers.
tabling member constituency	North Durham

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2021 answer text <p>There are no immediate plans to accelerate the Power Improvement Programme (PIP) for the Type 45 Destroyers, although we continually review optimal delivery within the Complex Warship Support Plan. The programme is dependent on the availability of ships to undertake the upgrade, balanced against the Royal Navy's current and future operational commitments. PIP conversions are planned to take into account the regular Upkeep cycle to maximise overall class availability and meet the readiness profile required to meet Defence outputs. HMS DAUNTLESS, the first of class to undergo the Type 45 Power Improvement Programme, is currently at the Cammell Laird shipyard in Birkenhead where equipment is being set to work following installation. The next phase of the programme will see DAUNTLESS undertake a rigorous trials programme in harbour and subsequently at sea.</p><p> </p><p>Three Type 45 Destroyers are currently available for operational tasking.</p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Jeremy Quin grouped question UIN 69020 question first answered 08/11/2021 15:27:18 answering member 4507 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Quin
