HC Deb 01 February 1985 vol 72 c343W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether the United States maritime prepositioning ships allocated to the eastern Atlantic will come under Standing Naval Force Atlantic.

Mr. Stanley

This is a matter for the United States authorities.

Mr. D.E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether any British port will act as a regular port of call to the United States maritime prepositioning ships allocated to the eastern Atlantic; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Stanley

Security considerations prevent me from commenting on the operational movement plans for these ships.
