HC Deb 10 May 1976 vol 911 cc62-3W
Mr. Clegg

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many times vessels of the Royal Navy have been rammed by Icelandic gunboats in the waters off Iceland.

Mr. Duffy

41 collisions have occurred as a result of the dangerous manoeuvres and tactics of the Icelandic coastguard vessels. About half appear to be the result of deliberate rammings by the Icelandic boats.
