§ Mr. Trotterasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the types of aircraft used for fixed-wing training of helicopter pilots by (a) the Navy, and (b) the RAF; and when he expects to be able to provide up-to-date estimates of the cost of basic helicopter pilot training.
§ Mr. William RodgersFixed-wing training of helicopter pilots is carried out on the Bulldog in the Navy and the Jet Provost in the Royal Air Force. The costings for which the hon. Gentleman asks are complex, but I hope to write to him within the next few weeks.
