HC Deb 09 January 1985 vol 70 c460W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement concerning the capability of Tornado GR1 in the maritime attack role.

Mr. Stanley

The Federal Republic of Germany has deployed the Tornado in the maritime attack role, but given the availability of Buccaneers we have no present plans to use RAF Tornado GR 1 s in this role.
