§ Mr. CohenTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) what is his Department's most recent estimate of the research and development and first-of-class costs for the new Upholder class submarine;
(2) what is his Department's most recent estimate for the unit cost of the new Upholder class submarine.
§ Mr. SainsburyI refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave on 14 January, at column373. Similar considerations apply to the detailed breakdown requested. However, information about the total cost of the programme was published in table 3.2 of volume 2 of the "Statement on the Defence Estimates 1987" (Cm. 101-II).
