Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much was spent on the refit and repair of HMS Bulwark during the last five years.
Refit and repair costs incurred for HMS Bulwark over the last five years totals £72.1 million.
HMS Bulwark was not due to go to sea ahead of its out-of-service date. It’s disposal shows that we are delivering for defence by divesting ourselves of old capabilities to make way for the future.
