§ Mr. Austin Mitchellasked the Secretary of State for Defence when he now expects to award contracts for the development of the Sea Wolf missile.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonI presume that the hon. Member is referring to the conventional and vertical launch Sea Wolf missile. I do not expect to award any further development contracts. The conventional launch missile is now in service and a contract for development of the vertical launch sea wolf missile was placed in 1984.
