HC Deb 08 November 1989 vol 159 c656W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is the present state of progress towards(a) Immingham and (b) Tilbury ports' development of Z-berths for nuclear-powered submarine visits.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

The only ports which are currently under discussion with local authorities as possible venues for visits by nuclear-powered submarines are Swansea and Tilbury. Regarding Tilbury, I have nothing to add to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member for Bow and Poplar (Ms. Gordon) on 5 May 1989 at column277.
