HC Deb 19 June 1975 vol 893 c522W
Mr. Critchley

asked the Secretary of State for Defence of what the last Europackage consisted.

Mr. Mason

I have arranged for a copy of the 1974 Europackage, which was attached to the Communiqué of the December 1974 Eurogroup Ministerial Meeting, to be placed in the Library of the House.

Mr. Critchley

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the weapons standardised by the Eurogroup.

Mr. Mason

There is a large number of projects where Eurogroup members have contributed to standardisation by collaboration in development/production or through buying from other Alliance nations. I will write to the hon. Member in more detail as soon as possible.

Mr. Critchley

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether the European Defence Improvement Package (EDIP) is in arrears; and if so, by how much, and in respect of which countries.

Mr. Mason

The programming of the European Defence Improvement Programme (EDIP) is proceeding in accordance with the originally envisaged schedule.
