HC Deb 22 February 1988 vol 128 cc102-3W
Mr. Sean Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when he expects to place an order for 4-tonne trucks for the Army.

Mr. Sainsbury

A competition is currently in hand to select the services' new 4-tonne vehicle for the 1990s with a view to first production orders being placed in mid 1989. The question of any further orders of the services' existing 4-tonne vehicles is under active consideration.
