HC Deb 02 June 1992 vol 208 c529W
Mr. Home Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether HMS Swiftsure is to receive a second refit.

Mr. Aitken

No. Swiftsure is not required to sustain our plan for a long-term force level of around 12 nuclear-powered submarines, and she was consequently paid off in April this year.
