FURTHER to the questions asked about the scrapping of HMS Ark Royal (HAS, Sept 14), my wife and I have just returned from a visit to Portsmouth dockyard. After a trip around the harbour, the skipper of the boat told us the reason for scrapping the Ark in Turkey is that they have no health and safety rules.
