§ Rear-Admiral Morgan-Gilesasked the Minister of State for Defence what is the annual cost of maintenance and the scrap value of H.M.S. "President" and H.M.S. "Chrysanthemum".
§ Mr. KirkThe average annual cost of maintaining these ships, including a refit every six years, is about £9,500 and £6,000, respectively. Their scrap value would be the best price obtainable among United Kingdom shipbreaking firms. It would not be in the public interest to give an estimate of what this might be.
