Warship Numbers In The Royal Navy

EDM number 151 in 2005-06, proposed by Michael Ancram on 19/05/2005.

That this House acknowledges that modern warships are much more powerful than their predecessors, but notes the obvious fact that the same vessel, however potent, cannot be in two places at once; deplores statements by the Government in the previous Parliament that numbers of platforms are no longer relevant; and calls for the fitting of Tactical Tomahawk missiles to those Type 45 destroyers which remain to be built.

This motion has been signed by a total of 104 MPs.
