In February 2007, at a journalists' briefing, he warned that the Royal Navy needed another £1 billion pounds to meet future foreign policy demands and appealed to the Government for additional funding, a third of the Navy's annual operating budget, to spend on building more modern ships.[16] In a later interview with the Daily Telegraph he said that an increase of more than 30 per cent in the Fleet's day-to-day budget was necessary to pay for better sailors' wages, the running of ships and improved accommodation. He threatened to resign as head of the Navy if the Government failed to agree to pay for two new aircraft carriers - the Royal Navy CVF programme, it had previously promised.[17] As of early 2007, approval for construction has yet to be given.
