Parliament and Central Government: Relocation

Debate between Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen and Lord West of Spithead

Tuesday 29th November 2016 Lords Chamber

[Lord West of Spithead (Lab)]

My Lords, does the Minister think there might be merit in building a purpose-built ship, which would help British shipbuilders and British steel, could visit various parts of England when needed—and would be quite useful during recesses as well?

[Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen]

I think this is an excellent idea. The only problem is that I only have to step on a ship and I feel very seasick, so I might not be able to take part. As long as it was full of admirals, I am sure we would be in agreement.
