<p>I have interpreted this question to refer to recent claims made about HMS Victorious.</p><p>
</p><p>As the Secretary of State for Defence (Michael Fallon) said in his Written
Statement of 28 May 2015 (Column 1WS), and as was reiterated during the Adjournment
Debate the same day (Column 293), I can assure the House and the general public that
the recently reported comments and concerns raised by an Able Seaman following his
first submarine deployment have been thoroughly investigated. That investigation concluded
that neither the operational effectiveness of our continuous at-sea deterrent nor
the safety of our submariners or members of the public has been compromised.</p><p>
