HC Deb 23 February 1982 vol 18 cc375-6W
24. Mr. Trippier

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if a decision has yet been made as to the future of the LPDs HMS "Intrepid" and HMS "Fearless".

Mr. Nott

I have nothing to add to the plans outlined in the White Paper I published in June, Cmnd. 8288.

43. Sir Patrick Wall

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if, in view of their possible role in reinforcing the northern flank of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, he will maintain Her Majesty's ships "Fearless" and "Intrepid" in reserve rather than scrapping them.

Mr. Nott

I refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the Answer I gave earlier today to our Friend the Member for Rossendale (Mr. Trippier).
