HC Deb 26 March 1969 vol 780 cc295-6W
16. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Secretary of State for Defence when the new facilities for dealing with nuclear-powered submarines at Devonport Dockyard will be ready.

Mr. John Morris

Planning for the development of Devonport as the third nuclear dockyard is proceeding on the basis that dockings will be carried out from 1974 but that refits and refuellings will not be undertaken until some time later in the 1970s.
