§ Mr. Gordon Brownasked the Secretary of State for Defence (1) how much is to be charged to the cost of refitting the Oberon submarine at Humber Ship Repairers as a result of work done at Plymouth on propeller shafts;
58W(2) on what basis he proposes to charge to the cost of refitting the Oberon submarine at Humber Ship Repairers the cost of seconding his Department's personnel; and how much he estimates the sums involved will be.
§ Mr. LeeThe cost of equipment and manpower provided in aid of the commercial refit of HMS Otter will be charged to the project at full cost. The cost of the work done at Devonport dockyard on propellor shafts was just under £85,000. It is too early to estimate the final manpower bill for technical guidance and overseeing.
