Hms "Endurance"

Mr. O'Halloran
asked the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has for the future of HMS "Endurance" when it ceases its regular visits to the Falkland Islands; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Blaker
HMS "Endurance" will be paid off on her return next spring from her current deployment. No final decision has yet been taken on the manner of her disposal.
