Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has made an assessment of the effect on the cost to the public purse of lengthening the build-time for each Type-26 Frigate; and if he will make a statement.
I refer the hon. Member to the answer given by my noble Friend, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence (the Rt Hon. the Earl Howe), on 12 March 2019 to Question HL 14108 in the House of Lords.
