Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to using the ongoing Operation Highmast deployment to repatriate one of the anchors of the battleship HMS Prince of Wales that were illegally salvaged in Malaysia.

The Malaysian authorities have primacy over the investigation into the illegal salvage of HMS Prince of Wales and it would be inappropriate to comment at this stage. Decisions on the preservation of any artefacts will be made once investigations have concluded.
