To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what action he plans to take in response to the National Audit Office report on submarine refitting at Devonport. [87765]

The report, while acknowledging that lessons for future projects have been identified by the Ministry of Defence, made a number of further recommendations. These are being considered in detail and, where appropriate, will be applied to MOD projects.
