asked the Secretary of State for Defence where it is intended to carry out the refuelling and refit of HMS "Dreadnought", now lying at Chatham, in view of the fact that it would be possible for work on her there to commence in January 1982.

Mr. Blaker

I cannot at present add to the answer which I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Faversham (Mr. Moate) on 11 November.—[Vol. 12, c.91.]

Sir Frederick Burden

asked the Secretary of State for Defence when, if he decides to send HMS "Dreadnought" for refuelling and refit to Devonport, work on her will start there.

Mr. Blaker

There is no intention to send HMS "Dreadnought" to Devonport.
