Streeting Delay to Building new Subs

Labour won’t order new nuclear submarines for Royal Navy until 2028, Wes Streeting admits. Labour will not order any new nuclear-powered submarines until 2028 as concerns grow over delays to Britain’s naval expansion plans. Sir Keir Starmer last year said Labour would decide how many submarines to commission by the time its Defence Investment Plan was published. The report was released on June 30. But the Government has now postponed its commitment to buying submarines until 2028.
