Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the cost of his Department's spending on (a) shipbuilding and (b) ship repair was in the (i) 2020-21, (ii) 2021-22 and (iii) 2022-23 financial year.
Departmental spending on shipbuilding is set out in the table below:
Financial Year | 2020-21 | 2021-22 | 2022-23 |
Total Shipbuilding Programme £million | 774.6 | 913.2 | 1069.7 |

Financial Year | 20-21 | 21-22 | 22-23 |
In Service Support: Surface Fleet & Submarine Equipment: Revenue | 939.6 | 1,012.20 | 1,029.00 |
“Ship repair” has been interpreted to include all in service support costs allocated to our fleet. As such, the values provided represent the total revenue expenditure (RDEL) costs for our Equipment Support Plan (ESP) for the years in question. Due to how the activity is often contracted, it is not possible to separate out costs for the surface fleet from those relating to submarines and capability equipment such as information warfare.
