The RTM 322 engine is a possible option for the EH 101 helicopter. The implications of introducing it into this programme are being evaluated but no decision has yet been taken.

§ Mr. Page
asked the Secretary of State for Defence what results have emerged from the evaluation of the RTM 322 engine in the SH 60B
