answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2022 answer text <p>Within the Ministry of Defence’s Annual Accounts 2020-21, an entry was listed as an advanced notification valued at £1.4 billion. Advanced Notifications are cases where formal sign-off cannot take place until all the work necessary to establish the validity and the exact amount of the loss has been concluded. The value of an advance notification is the best estimate and may change when the case is finally closed.</p><p> </p><p>A full breakdown of the entry referred to above is shown below and this reflects the estimate of asset impairment in the Department’s balance sheet associated with decisions to retire some in-service programme assets earlier from service over the next few years. The values reflect accounting adjustments and do not represent cash losses. These values will be further refined as part of loss case closure procedures.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Programme</p></td><td><p>£ million</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Typhoon Tranche 1</p></td><td><p>587.551</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>C130J Hercules</p></td><td><p>281.798</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Warrior Armoured Fighting Vehicles (reflects in-service assets – write off of capability upgrade sustainment programme shown in cancellation item)</p></td><td><p>189.762</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Medium and Light Helicopter Rationalisation</p></td><td><p>99.773</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Mine Hunting Capability Vessels</p></td><td><p>96.609</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sentry Aircraft – retirement of remaining aircraft</p></td><td><p>83.336</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) Fort Austin and Rosalie</p></td><td><p>44.250</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Type 23 Frigates - 2 oldest vessels</p></td><td><p>36.180</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Chinook Mk4</p></td><td><p>20.040</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Hawk Tranche 1</p></td><td><p>0.482</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total:</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£1,439.781</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The decisions taken as a result of the Integrated Review reflect the Department’s seriousness in investing in Defence modernisation to ensure the UK Armed Forces have the relevant capabilities to face today’s threats.
