Oral answer to question provided on Thursday, 4 March 2010 in the House of Lords, by Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour).


Cultural Heritage: Underwater Assets

Answer

My Lords, I will certainly look into that. It is not part of my notes, but it sounds like exactly the type of relic that we would be very concerned to safeguard and I undertake to examine the issue immediately.

This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Thursday, 4 March 2010 by Lord Roberts of Conwy (Conservative).

Question
The first ever British submarine lies off the coast of north Wales at Rhyl. It was invented by a vicar, I think, from Merseyside. It has been subject to a lot of looting and there are a number of wind turbines in the vicinity. Will the noble Lord please ensure that what remains of the submarine is preserved?
