Proceeding contribution from Lord Arbuthnot of Edrom (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 April 2009. It occurred during Debate on Defence Procurement.

Defence Procurement

I am sorry that I am a little late in rising to my feet—I intended to ask my hon. Friend about the carriers. He mentioned a figure of £600 million. When the Under-Secretary, the hon. Member for Grantham and Stamford (Mr. Davies), appeared before the Defence Committee, he told us that the delay in the carriers meant no defence cost to the country. If the First Sea Lord has given the figure of £600 million—I have heard the same figure from other authoritative sources—to my hon. Friend, does he believe it to be correct?
