Written question asked by Luke Pollard (Labour) on Friday, 12 April 2024, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 16 April 2024. It was answered by James Cartlidge (Conservative) on Tuesday, 23 April 2024 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


HMS Argyll and HMS Westminster

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has plans for HMS (a) Argyll and (b) Westminster to be put to sea again.

Answer

The coming years will see the Royal Navy carefully managing the transition between the current fleet to its new ships, maintaining operational commitments while ensuring value for money. I am committed to looking at the future of the Surface Fleet in the round and making tough but necessary decisions to ensure this transition is a success.

Any announcement on the future of the Surface Fleet will be made in the usual way.
