answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2016 answer text <p>HMS LANCASTER is presently alongside in Portsmouth and is maintained with a minimal Ship's Company on board until her refit.The Royal Navy has determined that HMS LANCASTER is not required as a training platform ahead of her refit, therefore a number of her Ship's Company have been redeployed in support of operational units and tasks.</p><p>Such planned programming enables the Royal Navy to optimise the use of its ships and personnel through the operational cycles. The normal operating cycle of every ship includes periods of low readiness, and a number of ships will enter periods of 'low' or 'very low' readiness depending on their programmes and departmental planning requirements. It remains Ministry of Defence policy not to publish details of the readiness states of individual Royal Navy vessels for reasons of safeguarding national security.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 13/06/2016 16:25:15 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
