asked the Secretary of State for Defence what were the original dates for the completion of the refit contracts for HMS Otter and HMS Euryalus; and what are now the expected completion dates.
HMS Euryalus is shortly to complete her refit, which will have taken 48 weeks. This is seven weeks more than the original planned time, but includes four weeks addition for further work added after planning. Work on HMS Otter started in December 1984 with a planned duration of about two years. This remains the case.
