Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many (a) Type 45 destroyers, (b) Type 23 frigates, (c) Royal Navy mine countermeasures vessels and (d) Royal Fleet Auxiliary ships have been maintained for scheduled or unscheduled periods in (i) the Gulf (Gulf Cooperation Council countries), (ii) South East Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Australia) and (iii) South Africa in the last five years; and what the costs were of each overhaul maintenance period.

The information will take time to collate and I will write to the hon. Member when it is available.
