§ Mr. IngramThe estimated total procurement cost to the United Kingdom for Eurofighter Typhoon is £18.633 billion.
Under the collaborative procurement arrangements for the project, the attribution of costs and savings from any cancellation of the third tranche of orders would need to be discussed and formally agreed between the four nations. No such discussions have taken place.
