HC Deb 26 June 1984 vol 62 c421W
28. Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what progress has been made on the investigations of projects utilising emerging technologies agreed at the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation defence planning committee meeting in December 1983; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Pattie

Work within NATO has demonstrated that there are already many important national and cooperative projects which utilise emerging technology. At the defence planning committee meeting on 16–17 May Ministers noted that several projects had been identified for priority action. They will receive a progress report on these at their next meeting in December 1984.
