HC Deb 17 December 1986 vol 107 cc595-6W
Mr. Cohen

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what has been the cost to date of payments to the General Electrical Company and associated contractors; and how much has been committed for subsequent payments in connection with the airborne early warning system.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

To date some £660 million at outturn prices has been spent or committed on the Nimrod AEW project. This equates to £930 million at average 1986–87 outturn prices. Both figures include VAT.
