HC Deb 20 December 1982 vol 34 cc406-7W
Mr. Warren

asked the Secretary of State for Defence why he intends that HMS "Glamorgan" should be paid off in 1984.

Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what are now his plans for the future of HMS "Glamorgan".

Mr. Blaker

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Defence stated on 1 July—[Vol. 26, c. 1063]—that HMS "Glamorgan" was to be retained rather than disposed of as originally planned. He further announced on 14 December—[Vol. 34, c. 129]—that, rather than joining the standby squadron by 1 April 1985, four ships would instead remain operational. HMS "Glamorgan" is one of these.
