HC Deb 18 March 1977 vol 928 cc312-3W

Mr. Trotter

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what income is derived from the use of the operational sea training facilities at Portland by other nations.

Several NATO, Commonwealth and foreign countries send warships to Portland for the various forms of operational sea training which can be made available. During the financial year 1976–77 the total amount charged for this training will be marginally over £1 million.
