Belfast’s glorious maritime history is an essential component of economic growth. In welcoming the Minister of State to his position, may I thank him for the work he has undertaken to ensure that HMS Caroline will for ever nestle within the slightly chilly bosom of Belfast lough? When he draws up the guest list for the re-launch, will he not forget Chief Petty Officer Yeoman William Perkiss, the last instructor on HMS Caroline and now a Doorkeeper in this very House?

I happily praise the efforts of my hon. Friend the Minister and, indeed, the shadow Minister, who I know has had a long-standing interest in HMS Caroline. I also thank the National Heritage Memorial Fund for providing £1 million to secure the future of HMS Caroline in Belfast. [Interruption.] I hope that that will be welcomed by Chief Petty Officer Yeoman William Perkiss, who is part of our House of Commons.

We have agreed in principle to gift the ship to the National Museum of the Royal Navy. This is subject to the development of a viable heritage business plan for the ship and parliamentary approval. As well as the National Museum being able to fund the day to day responsibility for the ship, following decommissioning on 31 March 2011, a heritage plan is required to be developed in consultation with the Northern Ireland Executive and others.
Discussions are continuing between the National Museum of the Royal Navy and authorities in Northern Ireland. An announcement will be made when a decision has been made on the future of the former HMS “Caroline”, which we expect to be in the summer.

Before HMS Caroline was decommissioned in 2011 she was the second oldest ship in the Royal Navy and the only surviving ship to have fought in the Battle of Jutland. She is therefore of significant historic value and is the only naval vessel in the world to have in situ First World War turbines.
HMS Caroline has been in Belfast's Alexandra Dock for more than 80 years and was a floating base for the Royal Navy Reserve. I very much support HMS Caroline remaining in Belfast, and the Minister of State, Northern Ireland Office, my right hon. Friend the Member for East Devon (Mr Swire), has had several discussions with the Northern Ireland Minister for Enterprise Trade and Investment Arlene Foster MLA on how best to secure her future and to encourage greater interest in her.
My right hon. Friend is seeking to meet the Minister for the Armed Forces in early July with Arlene Foster MLA when she is next in London to continue these discussions. I also have had private discussions and intend to visit HMS Caroline shortly.
