Flick Drummond – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Defence

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Flick Drummond on 2016-03-21.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when the power systems upgrade for the Type 45 destroyer will commence fitting; and whether that work will be carried out by a contractor using facilities at HMNB Portsmouth for each ship in the class.

Mr Philip Dunne

On the question of when the power systems upgrade for the Type 45 Destroyers will commence, I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to Question 25149 on 8 February 2016 to the hon. Member for Dunfermline and West Fife (Mr Douglas Chapman).

A decision on where the work will be carried out will be taken when the technical option and delivery model have been selected.
