Mr. Gordon Prentice: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when he expects women to serve as submariners; and if he will make a
statement. [148171]
Mr. Hoon: The current medical advice is to the effect that women should not serve in submarines because no assurance can be given
regarding the safety of a foetus due to the presence of contaminants in the submarine atmosphere. The medical advice on this
question is kept under regular review and is in the process of being reassessed. Currently, there are no plans to change the policy
of excluding women from the submarine service.
