Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Baroness Clark of Kilwinning (Labour). It was answered by David Mundell (Conservative) on Wednesday, 22 February 2012 on behalf of the Scotland Office.
Defence Munitions Beith
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Defence on the future of DM Beith.
- Answer
-
I spoke to the Under-Secretary of State for Defence, my hon. Friend the Member for Mid Worcestershire (Peter Luff), last week on this issue. As he confirmed on Monday, there are no current plans to change the status of DM Beith. There is a need to maintain Beith until the Spearfish torpedo has been converted to a single-fuel system, when the need for specialist facilities may lapse. The conversion programme is expected to be completed around 2018.
