Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

Patrol boats may be expensive to build but they are also very expensive to run. I cannot remember the exact figure, but the Army used to, and probably still does, run boats to patrol offshore firing ranges. I was very surprised that it was such a large sum of money. It is not just the cost of building these boats; it is the cost of running them as well.
