HC Deb 07 December 1978 vol 959 c739W 739W

§ Mr. Pattie
asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the scrap value of HMS"Ark Royal ".

The market for scrap fluctuates. In coming months HMS"Ark Royal"will be de-stored and de-equipped. Her scrap value thereafter cannot be forecast accurately, but HMS"Eagle"fetched rather over £1 million.
