Defence Equipment: Procurement

Monday 8th June 2015

Asked by: Anne Marie Morris (Conservative - Newton Abbot)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans he has to invest in new equipment for the armed forces.

Answered by Philip Dunne

This Government was elected with a mandate to increase the equipment budget in real terms every year, and replace our four nuclear ballistic submarines. We are committed to spending over £160 billion on equipment and equipment support, which includes new strike fighters; surveillance aircraft; hunter killer submarines; two aircraft carriers; and the most advanced armoured vehicles. The Ministry of Defence also invests over £400 million annually in science to access cutting-edge technologies.
