HC Deb 11 December 1980 vol 995 c442W
Mr. Trotter

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what is the value of the orders received by British Shipbuilders since May 1979 from the Royal Navy.

Mr. Michael Marshall

This is a matter for British Shipbuilders which tells me that the value of such orders is £272 million. This includes the value of refit orders but excludes equipment ordered separately by the Ministry of Defence from other suppliers.
