HC Deb 29 March 1983 vol 40 c101W
15. Mr. Douglas

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what progress is being made towards ordering conventionally powered submarines for the Royal Navy.

Mr. Ian Stewart

Vickers' tender for the first of the new class of patrol submarines was received in December and contract negotiations are now well under way. We intend to place an order for the first submarine later this year.
