Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will place in the Library a copy of the list of repairs to be carried out by BAE on HMS Queen Elizabeth.

As is to be expected at this stage in a first of class warship of the size and complexity of HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH, issues can arise during trials which require remedial engineering work to rectify. In view of the routine nature of this work, and the constantly changing list of items requiring attention, I do not propose to place a copy of the current list in the Library of the House as it would very quickly become inaccurate and potentially misleading.
