Ministry of Defence

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will place in the Library a copy of his consultation document on the protection of sunken military vessels.

Answer: Mr. Key: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will place in the Library a copy of his consultation document on the protection of sunken military vessels. [147709] Dr. Moonie: The aim of the formal consultation paper, being produced as part of a review of policy towards the protection of Military Maritime Graves, is to seek the views of those with an interest in this issue. The views of other Government Departments have been sought. I hope to issue the public consultation paper shortly. The consultation paper will run for three months and a copy of the paper will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses at that stage.
