33. Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what destroyers, frigates and mine counter-measures ships that were projected will not now be built due to cuts in the defence programme.

Mr. Judd

As announced in the Defence White Paper, nine new destroyers and frigates will be cut from the building programme. There will be no reductions in the programme for new mine countermeasures vessels.
