HC Deb 24 January 1978 vol 942 c582W
34. Mr. Brotherton

asked the Secretary of State for Defence when he expects HMS "Bulwark" to recommission.

Mr. Mulley

As part of our response to the call for improved readiness in the Alliance, I have decided to bring HMS "Bulwark" to a fully operational state later this year. She will be employed primarily in the anti-submarine role. She will also be able to contribute to our amphibious lift capability if required.
