HC Deb 20 January 1977 vol 924 c306W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Defence when he expects to be able to provide a detailed breakdown of the cuts to be made in defence expenditure.

Mr. Mulley

Final details of the measures necessary to meet the savings required for the next financial year 1977–78 are still being worked out. However, we have already decided to forego improvements to the Ikara anti-submarine missile system. The Australian authorities have been informed.
