HC Deb 06 July 1955 vol 543 c1124
43. Mr. Fernyhough

asked the Minister of Defence the cost to public funds through the payment for cancelled contracts in connection with the rearmament programme.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

A total of between £12 million and £13 million in the four financial years ending 31st March, 1955. I should, however, point out, to avoid possible misunderstanding, that this does not include the liability in respect of the Swift.
