HC Deb 05 February 1988 vol 126 c795W
Mr. O'Neill

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment he has made of the threat to Royal Navy Lynx helicopters on the Armila patrol from Iranian gunboats equipped with Stinger missiles.

Mr. Ian Stewart

The range of threats to our naval forces in the Gulf is kept under constant review, but it would not be in the interests of their security to reveal our assessment of such threats.
