Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much his Department (a) allocated to and (b) spent on the Multi Role Support Ship programme as of 1 September 2023.

It will take time to collate and analyse the information requested. To ensure I can provide as much detail as possible, I will write to the right hon. Member with the detail requested once it has been collated and a copy of my letter will be placed in the Library of the House.
