HC Deb 02 February 2000 vol 343 c590W
Mr. Hancock

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what savings will result from switching to the Lloyd's Register Naval Ship Rules; and if he will make a statement. [108036]

Mr. Spellar

It is expected that Lloyd's Register's Naval Ship Rules will, by capitalising on the Rules for the design, construction and maintenance of commercial shipping, lead to savings in this area of at least £1 million per annum.
