HC Deb 05 February 1997 vol 289 c620W
Sir Julian Critchley

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will consider naming a Royal Navy warship HMS Cromwell. [14319]

Mr. Soames

The naming of all Royal Navy ships and submarines is a matter for the Admiralty ships naming and badges committee which regularly considers suggestions for the naming of all craft. I am very grateful for my hon. Friend's suggestion and will ensure that it is forwarded to the committee for consideration.
