HC Deb 25 April 1978 vol 948 c511W
22. Mr. Rifkind

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what facilities are available to ships of the Royal Navy at ports or harbours on the Horn of Africa.

Mr. Duffy

Subject to agreement by the Government concerned to the entry of Royal Navy warships, commercial facilities would be available at ports or harbours on the Horn of Africa; but Royal Navy ships on deployment in the area would not normally need to make use of shore facilities there.
