Type 83 Destroyers: Expenditure
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is the total spend to date on the Type 83 Destroyer project, including pre-concept and early concept phases.
- Answer
-
We inherited an underdeveloped concept for Type 83 when we took office. The Type 83 Destroyer forms part of a wider Future Air Dominance System (FADS) capability concept, making specific costs for the Type 83 element hard to differentiate from the wider whole. Over the last three financial years, c.£1 million has been spent on platform-specific design for the Type 83. This forms part of c.£6.9 million which is the broader notional spend for Type 83 work as a part of FADS.
