Friday 8th December 2023

Asked by: Maria Eagle (Labour - Garston and Halewood)

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.

Answered by James Cartlidge - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence)

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

The following table sets out spending on ship repair:

Financial Year

20-21

21-22

22-23

In Service Support: Surface Fleet & Submarine Equipment: Revenue
Expenditure £million

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.
