HC Deb 22 March 1965 vol 709 cc16-7W
71. Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he will inquire into the conditions of naval personnel aboard H.M.S. "Ark Royal".

Mr. Mayhew

I visited this ship soon after taking office and am already aware of the living conditions on board. In the last few months the accommodation arrangements have been extensively surveyed and we are planning improvements at the next refit.
