Mr. Rogers
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence why the forecast in-service date for the Upholder class submarines changed from 1988 in the 1987 major project statement to 1989 in the 1988 major project statement.
Mr. Neubert
HMS Upholder's forecast in-service date was revised from 1988 to 1989 primarily as a result of an industrial dispute at the contractor's Barrow in Furness yard.
