HC Deb 13 April 1960 vol 621 cc126-7W
54. Mr. Emry Hughes

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty to what use H.M. Yacht "Britannia" is to be put during the next three months; and at what cost.

Mr. C. Ian Orr-Ewing

For part of the next three months Her Majesty The Queen is making the Royal Yacht available for the honeymoon of Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret; for the rest of the time she will be at Portsmouth. Apart from the cost of maintaining the "Britannia" in commission, the only cost involved will be that of the oil fuel consumed which cannot, at this stage, be estimated.
