To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what estimate he has made of the cost of the Project Teutates Technology Development Centre at the Atomic Weapons Establishment Aldermaston; what the (a) total project costs and (b) projects costs incurred by the Government for Project Teutates has been in each year since 2010; and what he estimates such costs will be in each year to 2015.
Philip Dunne
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence
The approved cost for the construction of the Technology Development Centre is £48.7 million. The breakdown for each year since 2010 is given in the following table:
| Financial year | Costs at outturn prices (£ million) |
| 2010-11 | 1.1 |
| 2011-12 | 11.7 |
| 2012-13 | 14.2 |
| 2013-14 | (1)15.1 |
| 2014-15 | (1)6.6 |
| 2015-16 | (1)0.0 |
| (1)Planned expenditure | |
I am withholding wider Project Teutates costs because disclosure would be likely to prejudice commercial interests and would impact on the formulation of Government policy.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
