The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether all crew assigned to (a) HMS Albion and (b) HMS Bulwark have been reassigned to other platforms.

Answered by Maria Eagle

All of the remaining crew from HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark have been reassigned: either to other platforms, to training courses, or into other positions supporting the Royal Navy's highest priority outputs.

A small number of Royal Navy personnel have been retained to manage onboard systems and safety until final disposal.
