(asked on 25th April 2016) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the Government has plans to sell one of the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers to a foreign country.
This question was answered on 4th May 2016
On 5 September 2014 at the NATO Summit in Cardiff, the Prime Minister announced that the second carrier, would be brought into service, ensuring that we always have one carrier available, 100% of the time. This decision was re-affirmed in the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review. There is, therefore, no plan to sell one of the Queen Elizabeth Class Carriers to a foreign country.
