HC Deb 30 April 1981 vol 3 c440W
Mr. Trippier

asked the Secretary of State for Industry how the new submarine building complex being considered at Vickers Shipbuilders in Cumbria will be funded.

Mr. Michael Marshall

British Shipbuilders is considering what capital investment is needed in order to build the Trident submarine; I understand that the corporation hopes to make a proposal to my Department in the near future. Meanwhile, no decision on funding has been made.
