Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Defence in the World.
Defence in the World
I had the opportunity to visit HMS Vanguard only a week ago, and it was clear that much of the equipment on board the submarine had had to be replaced within its lifespan. To answer the hon. Gentleman’s question, we could build the same thing again—but would we want to, when technology has moved forward? We can cut into a hull and replace a steam generator or a nuclear reactor, but it would probably cost more than building a new vessel.
