HC Deb 11 June 1996 vol 279 c87W
16. Mr. Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what steps are being taken to decommission Polaris submarines. [30898]

Mr. Arbuthnot

The process of decommissioning the Polaris submarines involves de-fuelling, de-equipping and laying up the vessels for storage afloat before their final disposal. This process has been completed for HMS Revenge, but not yet for the other Polaris submarines.
