To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the forecast cost of the A400M from his Department's (a) direct resource departmental expenditure limit (DEL), (b) indirect resource DEL and (c) capital DEL was on 31 March 2009. (275122)

I am withholding the forecast cost of the A400M programme for 31 March 2009 as this information will be published in the Major Projects Report 2009 later this year.
