HC Deb 22 June 1960 vol 625 c40W
Mr. Mason

asked the Secretary of State for War by what date it is expected that a British anti-tank weapon will be available for use by parachute regiments.

Mr. Soames

A British anti-tank weapon, the Wombat, is undergoing trials as a replacement for the weapons now used by parachute battalions. The date of its introduction into service will depend to a large extent on the results of the trials.
