HC Deb 07 March 1983 vol 38 c306W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment he has made of the damage to military equipment from the effects of storms on ships in the South Atlantic and consequent rattling in the hold and of the cost of repair of such equipment.

Mr. Wiggin

We cannot afford the time or staff in the Falklands to estimate the cost of damage which might have been caused by storms in transit.
