HC Deb 30 January 1986 vol 90 c628W
Mr. Wallace

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what progress has been made on the tripartite agreement to develop and manufacture the SP-70 shell; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Norman Lamont

[pursuant to his reply, 27 January 1986, c. 448]: There are no plans nor any tripartite agreement to develop a new shell specifically for the SP-70 gun. A range of 155mm ammunition, including shells already developed under the FH-70 programme and other shells which may then be on the market, would be procured for the SP-70 gun when it enters service.
