During this period, it is currently estimated that, over and above annual support costs, approximately £200 million will be spent on key components to maintain the life of the aircraft and £150 million on upgrading the fleet with new capabilities.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 05/09/2016 14:43:44 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
