HC Deb 09 July 1981 vol 8 c232W
Mr. Moate

asked the Secretary of State for Defence which dockyard will undertake the major refit of Her Majesty's Ship "Sovereign".

Mr. Blaker

As a result of the defence review, the timing of refits of individual ships and submarines and their allocation among the dockyards is being replanned in detail. I am not at present able to say to which dockyard HMS "Sovereign" will be allocated.
