HC Deb 16 July 1987 vol 119 cc596-7W
Mr. McWilliam

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement about the non-delivery of FH70 ammunition from Rheinmetal GMbH relating to orders placed more than two years ago.

Mr. Sainsbury

Deliveries of L15 high explosive shell under the current contract with Rheinmetal GMbH in April 1986 and have been maintained steadily since then. Ninety five per cent. of the shells due under this order have been delivered.
