Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much funding (a) the UK and (b) Germany have provided to the Wide Wet Gap Crossing defence procurement project.
The Joint UK-German programme to replace the current Wide Wet Gap Crossing capability is yet to commit to contract, so no funding has been provided jointly to date. The associated UK Project, TRITON, has spent £1,543,868 to date on requirements analysis and harmonisation with the German project, Schwimmschnellbrücke 2. We are not in a position to disclose the amount Germany has provided.
