Written question asked by Bob Ainsworth (Labour) on Tuesday, 25 January 2011, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 31 January 2011. It was answered by Peter Luff (Conservative) on Monday, 31 January 2011 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Type 22 Frigates
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has for the remaining Type 22 frigates following their decommissioning.
- Answer
-
The four Type 22 frigates (HM Ships Chatham, Campbeltown, Cumberland, and Cornwall) will progressively leave service by the end of April 2011. It is too early to say what the disposal plans will be but in accordance with the Ministry of Defence's policy for disposing of such surplus defence equipment, we are first looking at the feasibility of selling to other governments for continued military use. Should this not prove viable, we would then explore other options.
