§ Mr. Dalyellasked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the latest estimate for the cost of a type 23 frigate, fitted with a second Sea Wolf launcher, and a gas turbine to improve the cruising speed.
§ Mr. Pattie:It is proposed that the type 23 will be fitted with one Sea Wolf launcher and two tracker radars, and 276W with two marine gas turbines for high speed boost. On costs, I have nothing to add to what my right hon. Friend said in the House on 1 July 1982.—[Vol. 26, c. 1064.]
