HC Deb 26 February 1985 vol 74 c155W
39. Mr. Duffy

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he is satisfied with the progress of the airborne early warning system replacement programme.

56. Mr. Leigh

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the slippage in the Nimrod programme.

Mr. Lee

I refer the hon. Members to last week's Royal Air Force debate, when I said that this was not a procurement exercise of which either the Ministry or industry can be particularly proud. However, the first production aircraft is currently engaged in trials at RAF Waddington.
