Type 45 Destroyers

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what his Department has spent on the Type 45 programme in each of the last four financial years; and what the projected spend is on that programme in each of the next four financial years.

Answer

The total spent on the Type 45 programme in each of the last four financial years is shown in the table below. This includes costs of the Type 45 build programme and the in-service support of the six ships. I am withholding information on the projected spend over the next four financial years as we are negotiating a contract for future support, and its release would therefore prejudice the commercial interests of the Department.
