HC Deb 17 February 1983 vol 37 c238W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the operation of the computers in HMS Sheffield before and during Exocet attack.

Mr. Blaker

The computers on board HMS Sheffield functioned effectively prior to and during the attack; allegations that the Exocet missile was mistakenly identified as friendly are without foundation.
