HC Deb 18 July 1996 vol 281 c647W
Mr. Gill

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will publish the programme for Her Majesty's yacht Britannia up to decommissioning. [37722]

Mr. Soames

Her Majesty's yacht Britannia is to be decommissioned in 1997. Until then, she will fulfil an active programme in support of the royal family's commitments at home and abroad, and of promotion of British commercial interests overseas. However, as with all Royal Navy vessels, we do not provide details in advance of Britannia's programme.
