To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what recent trials have been conducted on warship hulls in respect of blast-cleaning techniques.
The Ministry of Defence is not aware of any trials in respect of blast-cleaning techniques on warship hulls since July 1996.
Two systems (including Mr. Farrow's) were demonstrated during 2000. Although the demonstrations were not on hulls, it was shown that the techniques employed could be used for that purpose.
