Future Of Portsmouth Naval Base (EDM391)

Future Of Portsmouth Naval Base

EDM number 391 in 2006-07, proposed by Sarah McCarthy-Fry on 04/12/2006.

That this House calls upon the Government to safeguard the future of Portsmouth Naval Base as 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 the new aircraft carriers and Type 45 destroyers; notes that Portsmouth has been a centre for naval shipbuilding since 1194 and that Admiral Nelson set sail from the city in 1805 prior to the Battle of Trafalgar, Britain'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This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
