The Ministry of Defence does not routinely publish detailed Approved Budgetary Limits for individual acquisition programmes where disclosure could prejudice its commercial interests. The affordability of the Type 31 programme remains under review, and any changes to its budget or approvals will be considered through the Department’s established governance processes.
