Mr. Farr
asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the future of HMS "Mauritius" in the light of the reopening of the Suez Canal.
Mr. Judd
We have already announced our intention to close HMS "Mauritius". This decision was taken in the context of the defence review and is not affected by the opening of the Suez Canal.
