HC Deb 18 April 1983 vol 41 c46W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what consideration he is giving to the use of hovercraft for future amphibious operations.

Mr. Ian Stewart

We are continuing to take an interest in the possible use of hovercraft in any military role for which they are suitable, and I refer the hon. Gentleman to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Isle of Wight (Mr. Ross) on 29 March.—[Vol. 40, c.171.]
