HC Deb 08 April 1976 vol 909 c281W
Mr. Trotter

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether it is intended to merge the three present Harrier squadrons in RAF Germany into two squadrons; if so, why; and what will be the reduction in front-line Harriers numbers in Germany.

Mr. John

It is not the Government's practice to give details of future defence plans of this nature. We have no plans to reduce the number of front-line combat aircraft in Germany.
