Question

Answer

Mr. Gerald Howarth: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what impact the withdrawal from service of HMS Sheffield will have upon the variety of spare and replacement parts carried by the Defence Logistics Organisation. [76521] Mr. Adam Ingram: The withdrawal of HMS SHEFFIELD will have minimal short-term impact on the variety of spare and replacement parts carried by the Defence Logistics Organisation. However spares provisioning in the longer term will reflect the reduced demand in moving from five to four Type 22s.
