Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what account his Department takes of the effect of potential currency fluctuations on its ability to deliver Carrier Enabled Power Projection; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 25th January 2018
Cost approvals for the constituent programmes of Carrier Enabled Power Projection (Queen Elizabeth Class Carriers, F-35B Lightning 2, Crowsnest) include provision to address FOREX risks. This will continue to be monitored, and as necessary, can be prioritised against the delegated and the overall departmental position.
