Mrs. Ewing

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make it his policy that HMS Ark Royal is refitted at Rosyth. [1881]

Dr. John Reid

I can confirm that HMS Ark Royal is included in the programme of surface ship refitting which, subject to satisfactory price and contractual agreement, has been allocated to Babcock Rosyth Defence Limited as part of the recent privatisation of Rosyth Royal Dockyard.
