HL Deb 03 March 2005 vol 670 cc38-9WA
Lord Astor of Hever

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many Royal Navy submarines will have a dry dock hangar capability after the decommissioning of HMS "Spartan" and before the introduction of the astute class submarines. [HL1411]

Lord Bach

I am withholding information about this capability on grounds that disclosure would prejudice the defence of the United Kingdom and the capability and effectiveness of the Armed Forces.
