HMS Enterprise Has Not Picked Up A Single Migrant
The Royal Navy ship sent to replace the former flagship, HMS Bulwark, on search and rescue missions in the Mediterranean a month ago has yet to rescue any migrants, the Ministry of Defence has said.
The disclosure comes after both David Cameron and the chancellor, George Osborne, tried to reassure MPs that Britain would continue to play a full role despite the replacement of HMS Bulwark with HMS Enterprise, an oceanographic survey ship one fifth of Bulwark’s size.
Since HMS Enterprise was sent to the Mediterranean Ocean, more than 20,000 migrants have been plucked from the sea.
