​​​​​​​At the Commons Defence session on AUKUS today.

Emma Lewell asks LukePollard if sending an Astute-class SSN to be forward-based in Australia for Submarine Rotational Force - West is realistic or even possible from early 2027?

Pollard insists, "It is entirely realistic and in the planning assumption".

(Currently, no RN SSNs at sea and 4 out of 6 are in low readiness)
