HC Deb 14 December 1982 vol 34 cc123-4W
20. Mr. Bill Walker

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will introduce new tests to reduce the failure rate in high speed jet pilot training; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Wiggin

Attempts to improve pilot selection testing have been going on for some time. Trials on two new tests have been started and we will be participating in the work of a recently formed NATO working group considering improvements in pilot selection.
