§ 90. Mr. Brooksasked the Secretary of State for Defence at which of Her Majesty's dockyards it is proposed in the 232W future to carry out refit work on nuclear submarines; and how much expenditure he estimates will be incurred by his department in order to provide the requisite facilities at these dockyards.
§ Mr. HealeyOn the location of the nuclear refitting programme, I have nothing to add to the statement made in today's debate by my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for the Royal Navy.
The nuclear facilities at Rosyth and Chatham, which are substantially complete, will have cost approximately £5 million and £6 million respectively by the time the work is finished. It will not be possible to provide a similar estimate for Devonport until planning reaches a more advanced stage.
