HC Deb 29 July 1982 vol 28 c698W
Miss Fookes

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if studies are yet under way into the use of aluminium in ships of the Royal Navy.

Mr. Pattie

The properties of aluminium as used in warships are well known. The findings of boards of inquiry now underway into Royal Navy warship losses will be studied closely by MOD for any fresh information on the behaviour of this material.
