It would be inappropriate to comment on which locations are under consideration until that process has been concluded and a contract has been awarded, as to do so would prejudice commercial interests. For the same reason I cannot comment on any engagement with industry in relation to the dry-docking of QEC aircraft carriers.</p> answering member constituency Aberconwy answering member printed Guto Bebb grouped question UIN 158217 158218 question first answered 02/07/2018 15:34:29 answering member 3910 label Biography information for Guto Bebb
