HC Deb 17 May 1985 vol 79 c263W
Sir John Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Defence which of Her Majesty's ships now carry a Royal Marines detachment.

Mr. Lee

Royal Marines detachments are normally carried in the royal yacht Britannia, HMS Endurance, the assault ships Fearless and Intrepid, the Falkland Islands patrol vessels and some frigates. They are also deployed in other vessels from time to time to meet specific operational tasks.
