I move:

Omit subparagraphs (a)(ii), (iv) and (v) and paragraph (b), substitute:

(a)(iv) recognises the demonstrated skills and expertise of the existing Collins Class submarine sustainment workforce,

(v) notes the Government's statement that a decision on future full cycle docking arrangements is yet to be made and that it will be made in the national interest; and

(b) agrees that future full cycle docking arrangements for Collins Class submarines must best guarantee optimal ongoing availability of our nation's submarine capability throughout the transition to the fleet of twelve new Attack Class submarines.
