Written question asked by Lord Luke (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Baroness Taylor of Bolton (Labour) on Monday, 7 January 2008.


Armed Forces: Destroyers

Question
Whether orders will be given in the near future for two Type 45 destroyers to make up the eight indicated in the original order.
Answer

We currently have a contract for six Type 45 destroyers and a decision has yet to be made on a further order. The decision and its timing will be based on a range of factors including requirements, affordability, value for money and the wider context of the defence industrial strategy.
