HC Deb 29 October 1970 vol 805 c159W
45. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Minister of State for Defence whether he will make a statement on the report of the board of inquiry into the damage to H.M.S. "Conqueror"; and what action will follow the report.

Mr. Kirk

A confidential report has been made by the board of inquiry and this is under consideration with the Ministry of Defence. But I can assure my hon. Friend that those recommendations aimed at tightening security precautions are already being implemented.
