§ Mrs. GilroyTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is the function of the proposed remote ammunition facility at Bull Point, Plymouth; if its design will allow for the other uses; and which other uses would be covered by Crown immunity. [27057]
§ Mr. Spellar[holding answer 6 February 1998]: The proposed development at Bull Point would provide a purpose-built facility for loading and unloading conventional ammunition from surface ships and submarines. We have no plans to use it for any other purpose and it has been designed specifically for ammunitioning. The question of Crown immunity does not, therefore, apply.
