Proceeding contribution from Lord West of Spithead (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 21 March 2017. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Armed Forces Act (Continuation) Order 2017.
Armed Forces Act (Continuation) Order 2017
I asked the noble Earl whether there would be more ships in the Navy by 2025 or fewer and, after a dialogue, we decided it would be one fewer. So it might be growing in weight but not in numbers.
