HC Deb 13 February 1963 vol 671 c208W
The Earl of Dalkeith

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty what his estimate is of the cost of providing a special depot ship for the planned Polaris-carrying nuclear submarine fleet.

Mr. C. Ian Orr-Ewing

As there are at present no plans to provide a special depot ship for Polaris-carrying submarines, it would not be relevant to attempt to forecast the cost of one.
