HC Deb 17 July 2003 vol 409 c490W
Mr. Jenkin

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the trials programme of RV Triton. [126140]

Mr. Ingram

A comprehensive trials programme has now been completed in conjunction with the United States Government. These trials are an integral part of a research and development programme that also involves model experiments and computational analysis, and which is leading to the availability of design tools and design guidance for trimaran ships.
