HC Deb 24 March 1969 vol 780 c228W
Mr. Younger

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many test firings of the Rapier rocket are expected to be made in each year.

Mr. John Morris

System test firings, which are carried out at Woomera, are a matter for the Ministry of Technology. The Services will start a substantial programme of practice firings at the Hebrides Range next year.
