To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what Royal Navy and Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessels (a) are and (b) are scheduled to become non-operational because of manpower shortages. [111314]
Mr. Ingram
There are no Royal Navy or Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessels non-operational or scheduled to become non-operational because of manpower shortages. However, a number of vessels are pursuing limited programmes due to the commitment of personnel to fire-fighting duties and training under Operation Fresco.
