HC Deb 06 April 1960 vol 621 c48W
46. Mr. Langford-Holt

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty how many moorings are held by his Department; what is the total annual cost of maintaining and repairing them; and what is the total average annual cost per mooring.

Mr. C. Ian Orr-Ewing

We hold 1,410 moorings, of all types, for national use at home and abroad, and the total annual cost of maintaining them is about £1 million. The average annual cost per mooring varies from £3,500 for a first class mooring down to £350 for a sixth class mooring and £50 for a small buoy.
