I refer the right hon. Member to the answer given by my predecessor (Alec Shelbrooke) on 22 September 2022 to Question 49570, which states that the Joint Crypt Key Programme (JCKP) has a whole life cost of £2.6billion over 19 years (financial year (FY)2016-17 to FY2035-36).

More detailed information on annual JCKP expenditure is being withheld as its disclosure would, or would be likely to prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces.
