HC Deb 03 March 1975 vol 887 c316W
Mr. Critchley

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has to replace the 120-mm recoilless rifle and the Carl Gustav in the infantry anti-tank role.

Mr. William Rodgers

Replacements for both weapons are under consideration. A decision on a medium-range equipment to replace the 120-mm recoilless rifle is likely to be made fairly shortly. The Carl Gustav short-range weapon will remain in service for some time yet.
