HC Deb 06 December 1982 vol 33 c408W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence for what purposes other than her role as a Royal yacht the Royal Yacht "Britannia" can be used.

Mr. Wiggin

In addition to her primary role as the Royal Yacht, HMS "Britannia" has participated in NATO and national exercises and has acted on occasions as a centre for the promotion overseas of British commercial goods. She has a wartime role as a hospital ship.
