HC Deb 17 January 1967 vol 739 cc21-2W
Captain Kerby

asked the Secretary of State for Defence why work on the conversion of the cruiser H.M.S. 'Lion' to carry helicopters has not yet started in Her Majesty's Dockyard, Devonport; and how much this is attributable to the diversion of labour and resources for work on H.M.S. 'Ark Royal'.

Mr. Foley

The timing of the second and third Tiger Class conversions has not yet been finally settled. It is not dependent on the refit of 'Ark Royal'.
