Mr. Trotter
asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many days on average per year were steamed by those Royal Navy ships in commission in 1978; what are the figures for 1979 up to a convenient date; and if he will compare them over a convenient period to illustrate the increase in sea days.
Mr. Speed
The information is not readily available in the form requested. I shall write to my hon. Friend.
