§ Mr. Trotterasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make it his policy to name vessels of the Hunt class in service and building after the larger centres of population, particularly the larger seaside towns, in view of the need to maintain historic links with such centres of population following the scrapping of most of the frigates so named.
§ Mr. Ian StewartNames for Hunt class ships in service and building have already been selected, but I will bear this suggestion in mind when considering names for future warships.
