Making the cost case for Malta-class carriers

Designs and cost estimates would form the proposed case for Malta-class carriers.

Question

Without using future knowledge, how could the incoming Labour government be persuaded that Malta-class carriers would be cheaper?

Short answer

Present the proposed designs and their cost estimates directly.

Notes

The proposed case to the incoming Labour government would put the designs and cost estimates in front of ministers. The argument depends on demonstrating the cost advantage claimed for the Malta-class option.
