HC Deb 11 March 1964 vol 691 cc63-4W
Mr. Rankin

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty if ships of Her Majesty's Navy will visit Clydeside during the summer of 1964.

Mr. Hay

Provisional arrangements have been made, subject to overriding operational commitments, for three frigates and one coastal minesweeper to pay visits to five ports in the River Clyde and the Firth of Clyde between May and August.

Until we have consulted the local authorities concerned, which we do about six weeks before any proposed visit, I regret that I am unable at present to give further details of the proposed visits.
