Proceeding contribution from Peter Viggers (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on CSR and Aircraft Carriers.


CSR and Aircraft Carriers

Does the Secretary of State agree that the aircraft carriers will operate in task groups, and that they will need full protection against airborne and submarine threats? The Type 45 is extremely capable against airborne threat, but is there not a yawning gap for the task groups’ defence against submarine threat?
