HC Deb 18 July 1960 vol 627 c13W
70. Sir N. Cooper-Key

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty which aircraft carriers are currently for sale; what price is being asked for them; and whether the price asked for is based on gross or net tonnage.

Mr. C. Ian Orr-Ewing

Details of ships for which we would consider offers and of negotiations for the sale of ships are necessarily confidential between the Admiralty and potential purchasers.
