HC Deb 10 November 1988 vol 140 c303W
Mr. Menzies Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for defence what representations he has had about the purchase of the Challenger 2 tank; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Sainsbury

My right hon. Friend has received a number of representations on this subject. He is considering the time scale in which the Chieftain tank might need to be replaced and the options available for doing so.
