Written question asked by Gerald Howarth (Conservative) on Tuesday, 29 November 2005, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 1 December 2005. It was answered by Adam Ingram (Labour) on Thursday, 8 December 2005 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Landing Ships Dock (Auxiliary) Project
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many design changes have been made to the Landing Ship Dock (Auxiliary) Project by (a) BAE Systems and (b) Swan Hunter; and what has been the cost to his Department of these changes.
- Answer
-
As the Design Authority for the Landing Ship Dock (Auxiliary) Programme, Swan Hunter have considered numerous proposals for design changes as part of the ship building process. The costs are part of the price of the Swan Hunter contract. Some of the design changes have led to claims from BAES for delay and dislocation to their shipbuilding programme, not all of these claims have been resolved and therefore a revised contract price for BAES is not yet available.
