HC Deb 03 December 1969 vol 792 c290W
71. Dame Joan Vickers

asked the Secretary of State for Defence in view of the successful trials of the Sea King helicopter, how many are going to be ordered for the Royal Navy.

Mr. John Morris

An initial order for the Sea King was placed in 1966. Deliveries to the Royal Navy commenced in August this year and production is well on schedule. But I am not prepared to reveal the exact numbers on order.
