§ Dr. Julian LewisTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence in what circumstances his Department has made bookings abroad for Royal Navy submarine crews via private travel agencies; and if such arrangements have been made in respect of Trident submarine crews. [10315]
§ Dr. ReidWhen accommodation is required abroad for visiting submarine crews, including those of Trident submarines, arrangements are usually made through selected private travel agencies. An individual posing as a naval officer recently obtained unauthorised information from one such agency in Faslane. The incident was reported to the appropriate authorities and is being investigated.
