4. Sir T. Moore

asked the Minister of Defence whether a decision has yet been reached in favour of equipping the Army Air Corps with the Scottish-designed Pegasus aircraft instead of the Canadian Beaver machine; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Watkinson

I would refer my hon. Friend to the replies given on this subject by my right hon. Friends the Prime Minister and the Minister of Aviation on 5th and 9th November.

Sir T. Moore

In view of the correspondence I have had with my right hon. Friend's predecessor, I know that he appreciates the urgency and importance of this matter. As we are having a conference with the Prime Minister in a few minutes' time. I will not now take the matter further.
