(asked on 8th December 2020) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what financial commitment his Department has made to the existing Anglo-French MCMV programme.
This question was answered on 14th December 2020
I have interpreted the right hon. Member's question as referring to the Anglo-French Maritime Mine Counter Measures (MMCM) programme. On 26 November the Secretary of State announced a £184 million investment in the joint MMCM programme, which will create new systems to combat sea mines and keep ships and personnel away from danger. Along with a further £70 million currently committed to the demonstration phase, this new investment brings the total UK commitment to some £254 million.
