Proceeding contribution from Lord Burnett (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Defence: Spending Review and Aircraft Carriers.
Defence: Spending Review and Aircraft Carriers
My Lords, the Government initiated a naval base review because they felt that there was considerable overcapacity. The Minister will know that the review is of profound importance to the Royal Navy and the economies of Plymouth, north Devon and, in fact, the entire south-west region. If the review is now complete, what impact will it have on DML Plymouth Appledore? If it is not complete, is there more to come and when will it be published? Finally, if the two carriers are to be base-ported at Portsmouth, what about the other service ships?
