§ Dame Joan Vickersasked the Secretary of State for Defence whether, in view of the excellent work done in Her Majesty's Dockyard, Devonport, in the construction of new ships, he proposes to 123W order another ship to be built in this yard in the near future.
§ Mr. John MorrisThere is no prospect of an order being placed in the near future on Devonport Dockyard for a new warship, but the capacity of the yard for the construction of new ships will be taken into account whenever an invitation to tender is being considered.
