Plymouth's two MPs have expressed their pleasure that two Devonport-based Royal Navy ships have been saved from the latest round of defence cuts.
The announcement about HMS Albion (pictured) and HMS Bulwark, external was made by the Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson at the Conservative Conference in Birmingham, who said the vessels were "vital" to the navy and Royal Marines.
There had been fears they would be withdrawn from service early as the MoD looked to make savings.
Labour MP for Plymouth Sutton and Devonport Luke Pollard said the announcement was "better late than never".
Quote MessageMinisters could and should have ruled out cuts to Devonport's amphibious ships months ago but it's better late than never. The delay in saving these ships has hit morale but it has given Plymouth a shot in the arm. Losing HMS Ocean to Tory defence cuts showed that ministers are not minded to protect our ships and as a city we have to fight to protect them."
Luke Pollard, Labour MP, Plymouth Sutton and Devonport
Meanwhile, Conservative MP for Plymouth Moor View Johnny Mercer took to Twitter to say: "Finally it can be made public. Def Sec Williamson has listened; the military footprint in Plymouth’s will not reduce on my watch."
