HMS Anson: Lichfield

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of linking HMS Anson with the City of Lichfield in the context of Thomas Anson having been the first Earl of Lichfield and the continuation of that line.

Answer

I welcome the constituency interest and the proposal will be considered in the regular rounds of affiliation planning, noting that the Royal Navy seeks to affiliate ships with communities across the country over time, which can be made at borough, town, city or county level.
