HC Deb 31 October 1986 vol 103 cc272-3W
Mr. Pawsey

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will seek the establishment of an independent board of experts to review the relative merits of Nimrod and the competing systems; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

No. I am satisfied that we have available to us all the expertise necessary to assess the relative merits of the two systems remaining in the United Kingdom AEW competition, the Boeing E3A and the Nimrod AEW.
