answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2018 answer text <p>The 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review confirmed that the Dreadnought Programme would move away from a traditional single 'Main Gate' approach, as it was deemed inappropriate for a programme of this scale and complexity, and instead would operate a staged investment programme.</p><p>The first of these stages, Delivery Phase 1, started in September 2016; and construction formally began in October 2016 with the cutting of steel for the first submarine. The number of investment stages throughout the 20 year acquisition programme will be defined as the build progresses.</p><p>The phases of Dreadnought construction comprise: major steelwork being formed into units; installing and outfitting of systems and plant; integration and testing of systems; and sea trials culminating in acceptance into service.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 13/02/2018 15:10:16 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2016 answer text <p>The Infrastructure and Projects Authority's assessment of the Successor submarine programme accords with our own. That is why we have established a new Director General Nuclear sponsor organisation and will set up a new submarine delivery body, as set out in the Strategic Defence and Security Review 2015.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2016 answer text <p>The nuclear deterrent is the cornerstone of the UK’s defence security policy. Maintaining the UK’s defence nuclear enterprise supports over 30,000 jobs across the UK and makes a significant contribution to the economy.</p><p> </p><p>In the UK, four key suppliers directly support the delivery of the Trident programme. The Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) managed and operated by AWE Management Limited is based in Aldermaston and Burghfield; BAE Systems Maritime-Submarines at Barrow-in-Furness; Babcock at Devonport; and Rolls-Royce at Raynesway, Derby. There are thousands of jobs sustained across these sites.</p><p> </p><p>There are also 6,800 Ministry of Defence (MOD) civilian and Royal Navy jobs at Her Majesty’s Naval Base Clyde including contractors from Babcock, Lockheed Martin UK and Rolls-Royce. This figure is due to grow to 8,200 in the 2020s. Rolls-Royce also operate the site at the Vulcan Naval Reactor Test Establishment, Dounreay, supporting the Trident programme and other nuclear-powered submarines. Also the Defence Equipment and Support’s military and defence civilian personnel are based at MOD Abbey Wood and other sites in the UK.</p><p> </p><p>The ability of these key areas to deliver their programmes depends heavily on an extensive network of sub-contractors who are working indirectly in support of the Trident programme.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne grouped question UIN 23883 23884 question first answered 01/02/2016 17:51:06 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
