Excuse me if I've got this wrong but the bit where it says
- The spokesman said there were no details available on program costs; initial contracts will be placed in June -
So does that mean we have decided to buy something but we don't know how much it will cost? How do we know there is not a cheaper alternative? As contracts have not been signed then presumably delivery times and schedules are just a best guess at what the customer would like so he can be got on a hook before putting in the small print and get outs in the actual contract.
I am so glad we have MoD experts looking after our country's money and interests
