HC Deb 17 March 1981 vol 1 c88W
44. Mr. Dewar

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement about the placing of orders for type 22 frigates.

Mr. Speed

As my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Defence told the House on 20 January tenders for type 22 frigates are currently under consideration. It is not yet possible to say when and where any subsequent orders may be placed.
