HC Deb 09 May 1962 vol 659 c38W
41. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty on what competitive basis tenders for atomic submarines will be judged, having regard to the fact that Vickers at Barrow-in-Furness have built two atomic submarines without tenders and so are in a favourable position for tendering.

Mr. C. Ian Orr-Ewing

As I have said before our nuclear submarine building programme is not yet settled and therefore I have nothing to add to my reply of 7th March.
