HC Deb 26 July 1982 vol 28 c389W
Mr. Colvin

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will seek to ensure that repairs to British vessels of all types engaged in the Falklands conflict are carried out in British shipyards.

Mr. Pattie

Warships will be repaired in the Royal dockyards. Any Royal Fleet Auxiliaries which are not repaired in the Royal dockyards, including Gibraltar, will be repaired in British shiprepair yards. Ships taken up from trade are being repaired in British yards.
