HC Deb 23 May 1962 vol 660 c414
7. Mr. Willis

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty whether the latest version of the commando-carrying Wessex will be ready for embarkation on H.M.S. "Albion" when she is commissioned.

Mr. C. Ian Orr-Ewing

H.M.S. "Albion" will commission with the new Wessex Mark I, which is now coming into service. The development of the later version, the Mark V, will not be completed until 1963.
