HC Deb 18 July 1985 vol 83 c213W
Mr. Tom Cox

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what ship repair work on behalf of Trinity House has been placed with British shipyards over each of the last three years.

Mr. David Mitchell

This is a matter for Trinity House to decide, but I understand that in each of the last three years five lighthouse tenders have used British shipyards for dry docking and repair. In addition, 10 of their major floating aids have also been serviced and repaired each year in British shipyards.
