answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2015 answer text <p>The expected £42 million reduction in cost results from changes to the way the Department pays for the Barrow facility improvements. The payment changes reflect a move from overhead recovery from BAE Systems to direct funding by the Ministry of Defence, and an associated reduction in the company's profit to reflect the reduced level of commercial risk.</p><p>Much of the plant and equipment within the new assembly shop will require upgrading and refurbishing from the existing stock to support the Successor submarine build programme. This includes presses, rotators and specialist welding equipment; the testing of this equipment will use steel from which test-pieces and prototypes will be manufactured.</p><p>The 2014 Update to Parliament explained that £261 million of funding has been re-profiled into the Assessment Phase. Of this, £206 million is to support Barrow infrastructure. The remaining £55 million is the £55 million referred to in the Long Lead Items section of the 2014 update.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 27/01/2015 17:05:12 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
