Oral Answers to Questions — Ministry of Defence – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 2 February 1966.
asked the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has to build an ice-breaker for the Royal Navy; and whether he will make a statement.
I have nothing to add to the reply which I gave to the hon. and gallant Member for Arundel and Shoreham (Captain Kerby) on 31st January.
Can the House assume from that reply that the Government have no further interest in arctic patrols or our position down there?
We have great interest in the position down there.
