§ Mr. Warbeyasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty (1) for what purpose the Frigate?Loch Insh? made a tour from Bahrain to St. Helena and back to its Persian Gulf station during December, January and February last;
(2) what was the total cost of the recent tour of the Frigate?Loch lnsh? from Bahrain to St. Helena and back to its Persian Gulf station, including pay and maintenance of officers and ratings, and running costs and depreciation of the vessel.
