Mr. Simpson

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is the annual running cost of (a) RNAD Coulport and (b) CSB Faslane. [32489]

Mr. Soames

As explained in this year's "Statement on the Defence Estimates", in 1994 the Department's running cost regime was replaced by a much broader operating costs limit covering all front-line and support expenditure. The provisional outturn figures, representing total operating costs for these establishments, for financial year 1994–95 are as follows:

  • RNAD Coulport: £57,889,000
  • CSB Faslane: £107,363,000

Mr. Simpson

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will provide a list of all United Kingdom and foreign submarines which have visited and the dates on which they have visited (a) Portland naval base, (b) Portsmouth naval base and (c) the naval base at Plymouth. [32491]
