	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2014 answer text <p>The annual cost of a Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carrier's ship's company, based on a planned normal operating complement of 672 at 2014 capitation rates, is £34.6 million. This includes the additional tri-Service Longer Separation Allowance, based on the Royal Navy's normal operating cycle of 660 days at sea over three years.</p><p>Aircraft costs are attributed by aircraft type not by basing factors. The operational and other costs for embarked aircraft cannot therefore be separated by land or sea-based operation.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 17/11/2014 17:12:24 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

The QEC aircraft carriers are extremely versatile platforms and the precise mix of aircraft deployed will depend on the type of mission being undertaken. Operations in the littoral, for example, may require embarkation of more helicopters and fewer fast jets.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 18/11/2014 17:41:53 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

	uin	213892
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2014 answer text <p>The contract to build four Military Afloat Reach and Sustainability (MARS) Tankers was awarded to Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering in March 2012. Although UK companies participated in the competition to supply the vessels, none submitted a final bid. Following the construction in South Korea, the ships will undergo customisation and trials in the UK, prior to entering service with the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. A competition for this package of work is under way, and is limited to UK companies. An announcement of the results of this competition, and on the contract for the provision of support for the ships, is expected in 2015.</p><p>The approved cost for the MARS Tanker project, including the cost of the vessels, and the customisation and trials is £596 million. There are currently no other plans for the procurement of Royal Fleet Auxiliary Tankers.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne grouped question UIN 213891 213893 question first answered 17/11/2014 17:10:52 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
