§ Mr. CousinsTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many fast coastal patrol boats are in service with the Royal Navy; and when he expects to place orders for additional vessels.
§ Mr. Kenneth CarlisleThe Royal Navy does not operate a type of craft known as a "fast coastal patrol boat". It does, however, have a number of patrol craft, among them the Peacock class Hong Kong patrol craft, Bird class large patrol craft, the Attacker and Archer class training craft. There are no current plans to place orders for patrol craft.
