Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Astor of Hever (Conservative). It was answered on Wednesday, 6 December 2006.


Shipping: Naval Wrecks

Question
My Lords, we on these Benches welcome anything that the Government can do to protect these war grave sites. Those tragic sinkings taught us the importance of air cover. In the light of that, can the noble Baroness confirm that there will be no further delays to the new carriers?
Answer

A good try, my Lords, but it is slightly outwith the brief in front of me. I will, with all due respect to the noble Lord, write to him on his question.
