HC Deb 19 July 1971 vol 821 c205W
67. Mr. Scott-Hopkins

asked the Minister of State for Defence whether he will increase the Harrier aircraft squadrons in service with the Royal Air Force.

Mr. Lambton

On the basis of orders already placed, the deployment of Royal Air Force Harrier squadrons is expected to be completed early next year. I have no plans at present for the formation of additional squadrons.
