My Lords, I congratulate the Minister on the Government's decision to send HMS "Daring" to Australia for the centenary of the Australian Navy. That leaves us with 18 escorts for the rest of the world. Does not the Minister agree that 18 is far too few and that we need to get going on the order for the Type 26 ship?
