Interesting that they are more expensive than what the Conservatives were saying, but nowhere near the $30 billion that is being thrown out there by the opposition.
Does anyone know where they are getting their numbers? |
I don't know but I would have made the assumption that the initial agreement to purchase or whatever you call the pre-agreement was signed long before the pricing started moving up. I also think that there is some confusion in the BPO assessment about the specific model pricing based around the information that the BPO's office questioned the British about their purchase agreement even though the Brits are buying the B's and C's and not the A's.
We also don't know if the conservatives blended in the economic benefits into the per package price.
However I expect that they will release their information during the election.
