HC Deb 23 November 1964 vol 702 c128W
70. Mr. McMaster

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he will review the long-term requirements of the Armed Forces for strategic transport aircraft, with a view to placing a development order for an advanced turbo-prop or jet aircraft to meet the need for greater mobility in the future.

Mr. Healey

The Belfasts and VC lOs are not yet in service. Together with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Aviation, I shall be studying possible future needs but it is too soon to formulate detailed requirements.
