HC Deb 06 December 1982 vol 33 c408W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence at what cost the "Ailsa Princess" has been chartered; and what modifications have been made for the purposes of the charter.

Mr. Wiggin

The cost of chartering the "Ailsa Princess" is commercially confidential between Her Majesty's Government and the owners. The modifications to the ship included the fitting of some machinery, communications and other equipment; this equipment was removed before the charter ended, on 30 November 1982.
