Written Question
Warships: Repairs and Maintenance
Monday 1st August 2022

Asked by: Lord Bishop of Exeter (Bishops - Bishops)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the announcement of the £55 million contract to regenerate HMS Quorn, a former Royal Navy mine-hunting vessel, what plans they have for further refurbishment of naval vessels to bolster NATO’s maritime capability.

Answered by Baroness Goldie - Shadow Minister (Defence)

There are currently no plans for the refurbishment of any former naval vessels.

The Royal Navy routinely sells its surplus units to key allies and partners as new capabilities are brought into service.

HMS Quorn is well suited to the Lithuanian Navy's requirements and will continue to support NATO maritime capability for many years to come.
