Kate Hollern – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Defence

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Kate Hollern on 2016-02-25.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the forecast expenditure is on the Successor programme within his Department’s 10 year equipment plan.

Mr Philip Dunne

The Successor submarine programme remains in the Assessment Phase. I am withholding internal Ministry Of Defence forecasts on future programme expenditure as disclosure would or would be likely to prejudice the Department’s commercial interests.
