48. Sir Ian Orr-Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether the reduction in numbers from 200 to 170 of Phantom aircraft, to be bought from the United States of America, falls on those ordered to meet the needs of the Royal Navy or Royal Air Force.

Mr. Mason:

The reduction in numbers affected both the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force.
