HC Deb 04 December 1997 vol 302 cc319-20W
Mr. Hancock

To ask the Prime Minister what assessment Her Majesty's Government has made of the scope for future public support for the Royal Yacht Britannia after she is decommissioned. [18924]

The Prime Minister

Seven proposals for preserving HM Yacht Britannia are being considered. Most of these claim extensive public support for a particular proposal. This is being taken in to account in the assessment of the options. I hope that the announcement can be made soon.
