HC Deb 28 May 1946 vol 423 cc183-4W
Mr. King

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty when he will implement the undertaking given to the hon. Member for Penryn and Falmouth, in his letter of 17th December, 1945, to the effect that surplus submarines in the Restronguet Creek would be removed as soon as towage and other details could be arranged.

Mr. Dugdale

One of these vessels was removed a week ago. Two others are likely to be removed in the near future. As regards the remaining vessels, opera tional considerations made it necessary to remove these vessels from the scrapping list, but they have now been restored, and every effort will be made to have them removed as quickly as possible.
