Written question asked by Stephen Gethins (Scottish National Party) on Friday, 20 April 2018, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 24 April 2018. It was answered by Guto Bebb (Conservative) on Friday, 27 April 2018 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


Trident Submarines

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent estimate his Department has made of the cost of the trim and compensation system for the Dreadnought programme; and whether that estimate is an increase on previously made estimates.

Answer

Costs of individual systems on Dreadnought are managed within the programme's overall £31 billion budget, which is funded by Defence. I am withholding details of the cost of this system as disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice commercial discussions and interests.
