Mr. Mans: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is the current estimate of the cost of acquiring the Trident strategic
weapon system, and if he will make a statement. [21672]
Mr. Portillo: The current estimate of the total acquisition cost of the Trident programme, with all expenditure, including payments
already made, brought up to current prices and the exchange rate assumed in the latest long-term costing of the defence programme,
is £12,570 million. If payments already made are expressed at the prices and exchange rates actually incurred, with future spend at
current economic conditions, the estimate is now £9,955 million. Expenditure on Trident acquisition to 30 September 1996 represented
some 86 per cent. of the latter estimate.
The revised estimate of £12,570 million represents a real cost reduction of £29 million since last year. The figures show a cash
increase of £417 million, but inflation since last year adds £377 million and exchange rate charges add £69 million. The new total
therefore reflects increased efficiency in delivering the programme. The programme also continues to show an overall reduction in
real terms on its original 1982 estimate. This reduction, including the savings resulting from the decision to process missiles at
the United States facility at Kings Bay, Georgia now stands at over £3.6 billion.
The proportion of the estimate for work undertaken in the United Kingdom is around 70 per cent.
I am pleased to confirm that HMS Vigilant, the third of the four planned Vanguard class submarines, was commissioned on time toward
the end of last year and is now engaged in work-up trials. Progress with the fourth submarine, vengeance, also remains satisfactory.
I am, as in previous years, sending to the Chairmen of the Public Accounts Committee and of the Select Committee on Defence a more
detailed report on the programme. I am also placing a copy of this report in the Library of the House.

Mr. Robathan: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when he will next meet the Russian Defence Minister. [20806]
Mr. Portillo: At the invitation of Defence Minister Rodionov, I shall be in Moscow on 17-18 March for discussions with him. I also
hope to see other members of the Russian Government. We plan to sign a new memorandum of understanding covering bilateral defence
co-operation between the United Kingdom and Russia, which will provide a framework for building on the significant bilateral defence
relationship established with Russia in recent years.

Mr. Cunliffe: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on defence expenditure in the next two years.
[18049]
Mr. Portillo: Under the latest spending plans, defence expenditure will be £21,822 million in 1997-98 and £22,276 million in
1998-99. These plans reflect the Government's commitment to strong, capable and properly resourced armed forces.

Sir Fergus Montgomery: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment he has made of the importance to the deterrent
capability of United Kingdom forces of spending above the European average. [18048]
Mr. Portillo: A reduction in UK defence expenditure to the current NATO European average would involve cuts of around £5 billion per
year. This would have a devastating effect on the capability of our armed forces and on their ability to deter aggression.
