Naval Vessels (Port And Refuelling Facilities)

Mr. Soames
asked the Secretary of State for Defence by which countries, for what reasons and on how many occasions in the last year British naval vessels have been denied port or refuelling facilities of any sort.

Mr. Stanley
As I said to the hon. Member for Linlithgow (Mr. Dalyell) on 24 January 1984 at column 458, discussions about Royal Navy ship visits overseas are confidential between Her Majesty's Government and the Governments concerned.
