HC Deb 16 March 1976 vol 907 cc469-70W
Mr. Wiggin

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what was the cost of HMS "Wilton"; and what were the development costs associated with this class and type.

Mr. William Rodgers

The construction of HMS "Wilton", which is the only vessel of this type, cost £2¾ million. It is not possible to identify the development costs specifically associated with this ship since they form part of a general programme of research into glass reinforced plastic technology.
