HC Deb 24 May 1973 vol 857 c136W
Mr. Laurance Reed

asked the Minister of State for Defence what is the estimated cost per week of running the Fishery Protection Squadron in the 12–50 mile zone off Iceland, including Fleet support ships.

Mr. Buck

It is not possible to make a valid comparison between the costs of operations off Iceland and the costs of the alternative programme on which the ships might have been engaged.
