<\/p><\/td> | I refer my noble Friend to the answer given by my hon. Friend the Minister of State for Defence Procurement (Mr Philip Dunne) in the House of Commons on 6 June 2016, to Question number 38719.<\/p> On the question of any impact on the capacity and efficacy of the Royal Navy, the Type 45 destroyers are hugely capable ships. They have consistently made a difference to our safety and security, and continue to make an enormous contribution to the defence of the UK and our international partners.<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>"}
