Future Of Portsmouth Naval Base (EDM2755)

Future Of Portsmouth Naval Base

EDM number 2755 in 2005-06, proposed by Sarah McCarthy-Fry on 16/10/2006.

That this House calls upon the Government to safeguard the future of Portsmouth Naval Base as a homeport for the majority of the Royal Navy's surface fleet and as a major centre for warship maintenance, repairs and refits; further calls for confirmation of Portsmouth as homeport for new aircraft carriers and Type 45 destroyers; notes that Portsmouth has been the centre for naval shipbuilding since 1194 and that Admiral Nelson set sail from the city in 1805 prior to the Battle of Trafalgar, Britainâ€™s greatest naval victory; and believes that it makes economic sense for Portsmouth to remain a vibrant naval base as a driver for the south east Hampshire economy, and as the most cost effective solution to the Ministry of Defence's warship support needs.

This motion has been signed by a total of 26 MPs.
