To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is the total annual cost of providing harbour craft services, including those sub-contracted, at HM Naval Base Clyde. [66598]

Mr. Spellar

[holding answer 19 January 1999]: This is a matter for the Chief Executive of the Naval Bases and Supply Agency. I have asked the Chief Executive to write to the hon. Member.

Letter from John Trewby to Mrs. Margaret Ewing, dated 20 January 1999:

The Secretary of State for Defence has asked me to reply to your Question about the total annual cost of providing harbour craft services, including those sub-contracted, at HM Naval Base Clyde as this falls within my area of responsibility.

The provision of all the Marine Services at HM Naval Base Clyde is undertaken by a commercial contractor, Serco Denholm Ltd. I regret that I am unable to disclose the cost of these services as it is commercially sensitive.
