HC Deb 20 April 1967 vol 745 c150W
70. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the 10 most expensive vessels now being supplied to or in commission for the Royal Navy; and what each costs.

Mr. Mason

The most expensive vessels on order for the Royal Navy are the Polaris and Fleet submarines. As I told the hon. Member for Bebington (Mr. Brooks) on 24th February the estimated cost of each Polaris submarine is £52 million. The estimated cost of a Fleet submarine is about half as much.—[Vol. 741, c.360.]
