§ Mr. William Hamiltonasked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he will make a statement on the total cost of British military purchases from the United States of America since the Nassau Agreement, including Polaris and the three aircraft C130, F4 and F111.
§ Mr. HealeyExpenditure on Polaris from the Nassau agreement to the end of 1965–66 is estimated at £37 million. The total dollar cost of all the projects mentioned over the 10 years from 1966–67 is estimated as under £600 million, assuming that the cost of the F111 A is fully offset, as I expect it to be.
