My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the decision to exclude Sweden from the government's submarine selection process. The Prime Minister has said:

… it's almost two decades since Sweden built a submarine …

Is the Prime Minister aware that Sweden has built or significantly refitted 11 submarines since 1995, with the last delivered in 2013? Has the Prime Minister made his 'captain's pick' based on false information?
