HC Deb 25 November 1987 vol 123 c207W
Mr. Barry Field

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when a decision will be taken on the replacement aircraft for the Army Air Corps Beavers; and what consideration he has given to Pilatus Britten-Norman's Defender for this role.

Mr. Sainsbury

A contract has been let with Pilatus Britten-Norman to assess the suitability of Islander aircraft for this role. We hope to reach a decision on the procurement in the new year.
