Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Defence when he expects delivery of new landing craft; what is the estimated cost of each craft; and how many are currently on order or likely to be ordered in the foreseeable future.

Mr. Speed

It is expected that two 30m landing craft for the Army will deivered by the middle of this year. They will cost about £800,000 each. Further orders of these craft are under consideration. The possibility of ordering a number of smaller landing craft for the Royal Navy is also being considered for the future.
