HC Deb 27 July 1989 vol 157 c907W
Mr. Gordon Brown

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will publish the agreement on charges paid for HMS Dreadnought to be stored at Rosyth.

Mr. Alan Clark

[holding answer 25 July 1989]: Dreadnought has been stored afloat at Rosyth since 1983. Although she occupies a berth inside the basin (ie inside the licensed area) no specific provision was made in the term contract for payment to be made by the Ministry of Defence to BTL by way of berthing charges for her.
