My Lords, does the noble Baroness recall that it was I who first tasked the Takeover Panel to look into these matters in the wake of the Cadbury takeover? While it was never my or the Government’s intention to introduce or apply a nationality test in the case of foreign takeovers, I was conscious of the potential sensitivity and possible conflict of interest in the energy sector. What would be the Government’s attitude to a foreign bid for a UK energy utility from outside the European Union?

There were two questions there. One was about the Cadbury acquisition by Kraft, which raised wider questions, as we know, about short-termism and shareholder engagement. They are being considered as part of the reform of the Takeover Code and the Government’s call for evidence on the long-term focus for corporate Britain. Yes, I agree with the noble Lord on that. As to whether the Government would act to stop the takeover of a British energy company, I am unable to comment on any specific case. However, any proposed merger involving the supply of energy and its infrastructure would be subject to robust scrutiny and considered on its merits.

Mr. Mandelson: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) what the Government's policy is regarding the break-up, recovery and
recycling of United Kingdom naval vessels; [143887]
(2) which United Kingdom naval vessels have been broken up over the past five years; and where each vessel was broken up; [143888]
(3) which United Kingdom naval vessels are being considered for breaking up; [143889]
(4) what criteria are used to determine where work to break up United Kingdom naval vessels is carried out. [143890]
Mr. Ingram: When declared surplus to requirements, named RN ships are sold via the Ministry of Defence's Disposal Services Agency
(DSA). The DSA actively promotes sales on a Government-to-Government basis but, if a buyer cannot be found, vessels may be sold by
means of a competitive tender exercise and bidders may include parties interested in scrapping the vessels. Of all the vessels sold
over the past five years, the following (including Royal Fleet Auxiliaries) were sold for breaking:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Financial year Scrapped in:
HMS Birmingham 2000-01 Spain
HMS Beaver 2000-01 Turkey
RFA Olwen 2000-01 India
RFA Olna 2000-01 India
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
When disposing of surplus vessels, the Government's policy is to comply with all national and international environmental
legislation (including the Basel Convention) while ensuring the maximum return for the taxpayer.
The DSA is currently examining disposal options for HMS Intrepid, one of which is a sale for scrapping overseas.
