Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, which Royal Navy vessels are on duty in the Gulf; and when those vessels are planned to return to the UK.
At present, there are six Royal Navy vessels on duty in the Gulf. These are HMS Bangor, HMS Blyth, HMS Ledbury, HMS Middleton, RFA Fort Rosalie and RFA Cardigan Bay. The Ministry of Defence does not release details of planned deployment dates as to do so would, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces.
