HC Deb 16 December 1992 vol 216 c333W
Mr. Streeter

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence on how many occasions his Department has requested Devonport and Rosyth to submit best and final offers for the refit of Britain's nuclear submarines.

Mr. Aitken

Both dockyard management companies have, at their own initiative, made revisions to the proposals which they originally submitted to the Ministry of Defence in November last year. They have both been given equal treatment including a recent and final opportunity to revise their respective proposals if they so wish.
