HC Deb 16 June 1982 vol 25 c294W
Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the approximate cost of replacing military equipment used during exercises off Ascension Island to the nearest available date.

Mr. Pattie

Elements of the task force now operating in the South Atlantic carried out exercises en route, some of which took place off Ascension Island. These exercises consumed ammunition and fuel, but replacement costs, which are relatively small, cannot be separately identified.
