Oral answer to question provided on Wednesday, 22 February 2012 in the House of Commons, by David Mundell (Conservative), Scotland Office.
Defence Munitions 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.
