§ Commander Courtneyasked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the present state of the hull and engines of H.M.S. "Leviathan"; and what would be the cost of completing this vessel for service with the Fleet as a commando ship.
§ Mr. Mayhew"Leviathan" has been laid up half-built since 1946, and has been on the scrap list since 1961. I could not say without a proper survey what it would cost to complete her as a commando ship but clearly it would be a great deal.
