§ Mr. Pawseyasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will increase the number of light anti-aircraft guns available to the Armed Forces.
§ Mr. HayhoeIn the main, air defence of the Forces is met by missile systems such as Rapier, Blowpipe and Sea Wolf. There is therefore no requirement for additional light anti-aircraft guns at present. However, all options for improving United Kingdom Forces' capability in this area are being kept under review.
