Torpoint's Mayor concerned by rumours about HMS Raleigh merging with Naval college at Dartmouth

Torpoint's Mayor has said speculation that HMS Raleigh could be merged with the Britannia Royal Naval College is concerning.

The idea was first raised during the defence review last year.

Previously the defence secretary had reassured the South East Cornwall MP that the Torpoint base was safe.

But now the MOD says it can't rule anything in or out and won't comment further on speculation.

Councillor Edward Andrews has said they now need a clear statement from the MOD on what the future holds.
