Dent Steel Services (UK) was awarded the contract by BAE Systems to source and supply the steel required for the OPVs.</p><p> </p><p>Around 60 per cent of the total steel required for the OPVs consists of thin plate (between four and five millimeters ) which can be sourced only from steel mills capable of rolling the material to that thickness.</p><p> </p><p>UK steel suppliers were approached by Dent but none were able to meet the thickness specification. As a result this steel was sourced from overseas suppliers.</p><p> </p><p>Around 60 per cent of the overall requirement was sourced from Sweden; 20 per cent from UK steel mills; 10 per cent from Spain; and the remaining 10 per cent from Dent's existing stock, of unknown origin. The use of overseas suppliers was necessary to obtain the required specification of steel at a competitive price for delivery at the time required.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 11/02/2016 16:29:29 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 4 February 2016 to Question 25006, for what reason the repair and maintenance costs of HMS Diamond were greater than those of the other Type 45 Destroyers.
tabling member constituency	Islington South and Finsbury
tabling member printed	Emily Thornberry
uin	26252
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2016 answer text <p>The primary cause of the greater repair and maintenance costs for HMS DIAMOND was a longer Docking Period than the other two routine docking cycles. HMS DARING and HMS DAUNTLESS are the only other Type 45 Destroyers to have completed a routine docking cycle. The additional length of the Docking Period was a reflection of the number of capability upgrades and modifications, fitted to HMS DIAMOND. This was entirely normal for a class of warship of this age and all future Docking Periods for the Class are now programmed for a similar duration.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 11/02/2016 16:31:17 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
