Written Question
Guided Weapons: Procurement
Tuesday 16th July 2019

Asked by: Anne-Marie Trevelyan (Conservative - Berwick-upon-Tweed)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how long it would take, and at what cost, for her Department to procure a Tomahawk Land Attack Cruise Missile.

Answered by Stuart Andrew - Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport

The lead times for replenishing missiles is typically between 18 and 36 months depending on the munition type. Procurement costs are regularly reviewed and are dependent on the quantity of missiles being procured, customer priorities and market conditions at the time.
