Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what are the increased unit costs of the PWR2 following the reduced procurement of submarines under "Options for Change".

Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

It is not our practice to comment on matters relating to the design of nuclear-powered submarines.

Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the project definition study contracts for an SSN integrated communications system.

Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

Project definition studies for a follow-on class of SSN and its associated systems have been deferred pending a decision on the way ahead for the project following my right hon. Friend's 25 July statement on "Options for Change".
