HC Deb 13 May 1981 vol 4 c299W
Mr. Trippier

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what efforts are being made to salvage parts of phased-out equipment and recycle old material.

Mr. Speed

It is the normal practice of the Ministry to recover parts from phased-out equipment and to recycle old material whenever it is cost-effective to do so and there is a clear future need.
