Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what progress he has made on the sale of HMS Albion.
HMS ALBION is currently moored at HMNB Devonport. No plans for HMS ALBION’s disposal have been confirmed.
HMS Albion was never due to go to sea ahead of its out-of-service date in 2033. It’s disposal shows that we are delivering for defence by divesting ourselves of old capabilities to make way for the future. This ship was effectively mothballed by the previous Government.
