Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, for what reasons Submarine Exercise Areas Ardglass and Peel were not activated on 15 April 2015.
This question was answered on 21st October 2015
It is incorrect to say that the exercise areas of Ardglass and Peel were not activated on 15 April 2015. The SUBFACTS issued to the coastguards in Aberdeen, Belfast and Stornaway on 14 April included both Ardglass and Peel in the areas activated for dived submarine operations in the 24 hour period from 0800 on 15 April 2015.
