David Cairns: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the future basing of Royal Navy ships and
submarines and the future requirement for three naval bases. [66801]
Mr. Ingram: A joint Royal Navy/Warship Support Agency study team has recently completed a wide-ranging review of the base porting
arrangements for Royal Navy warships and Royal Fleet Auxiliaries, and the infrastructure required to support them. Their
recommendations have been endorsed by Ministers, and will be implemented subject to trade union consultation.
The three existing naval bases at Portsmouth, Devonport and Clyde are able to provide sufficient capacity to support the ships and
submarines that are in-service, on order or planned.
The future aircraft carrier--the CVF--will be based at HM naval base Portsmouth. While it should be possible to berth two CVFs in
Portsmouth simultaneously, for military reasons this may not be desirable. Options are therefore being considered to make use of an
occasional stand-by berth for the high-readiness CVF. Further work on the design, operating patterns and manning are needed before a
final decision can be made, although initial indications who show that Southampton could provide such a facility if required.
As has been previously announced on 26 June 2002, Official Report, column 908W the batches one and two of Astute Class submarines
will be based at HM naval base Clyde, and the Trafalgar Class will remain at Devonport.
With regard to the remainder of the fleet, the T45 Destroyers will progressively replace the T42 Destroyers based at Portsmouth. The
two new amphibious ships, HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark, will join HMS Ocean at Devonport, creating an amphibious shipping centre of
expertise. The current arrangements for the Vanguard Class nuclear powered ballistic missile Submarines, Frigates, Survey Ships and
Minor War Vessels work well and will not be changed.

David Cairns: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the strategic employment implications are of the revised procurement
strategy for Type 45 destroyers; and if he will make a statement. [40934]
Dr. Moonie: The revised procurement strategy for the Type 45 destroyer, which was announced by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of
State for Defence on 10 July 2001, shares work on the first batch of ships between BAE Systems Marine and Vosper Thornycroft. On 18
February 2002, my noble Friend the Minister for Defence Procurement announced that a contractual commitment had been made for a
further three Type 45 platforms, bringing the total number of ships on contract to six. BAE Systems Marine has confirmed that, once
the construction programme is fully up and running, work on Type 45 vessels will sustain a steady level of some 1,250 jobs on the
Clyde and about a further 900 jobs at Barrow-in-Furness well into this decade. Vosper Thornycroft estimate that the planned Type 45
work should sustain a steady level of some 800 jobs on the south coast over a similar period.

David Cairns: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has for (a) increased efficiency in and (b) modernisation of
the UK's warship repair facilities. [25427]
Mr. Ingram: The UK's warship repair is provided at Devonport by Devonport Management Ltd., at Rosyth by Babcock Rosyth Defence Ltd.
and at Portsmouth by Fleet Support Ltd. The Ministry of Defence is currently seeking to modernise arrangements for warship support
across the UK's Naval Bases and Dockyards. Within this initiative, as well as pursuing efficiencies at the Naval Bases, the MOD is
seeking to increase the proportion of the programme for surface warship repair that is opened up to competition, with the aim of
helping the dockyard companies to drive out excess capacity and increase efficiency.
