§ 70. Mr. Emrys Hughesasked 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. MasonThe 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.]
