HL Deb 10 March 1987 vol 485 c1043WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Norwegian authorities have discussed with them or any other NATO Allies their proposal to build a joint Finnish/Norwegian shipyard at Kirkenes, which expects to obtain most of its repair work from the USSR, repairing Soviet fishing, merchant and auxiliary vessels.

Lord Trefgarne

This proposal is a matter for the governments concerned. We have not been involved in any discussions with the Norwegian authorities on the subject.
