HC Deb 15 July 1977 vol 935 c272W
Mr. Jopling

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many warp cutters are in the possession of his Department, or can be obtained at short notice.

Mr. Duffy:

There is no requirement for the deployment of warp cutters by vessels engaged in fishery protection duties. Should a requirement arise the stocks necessary to meet it could be obtained at short notice.
