HC Deb 25 July 1989 vol 157 c682W
Mr. Menzies Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether his Department intends to place orders for multiple integrated laser engagement systems for use by the Army; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Sainsbury

We are looking into the requirement and suitable procurement arrangements for this type of training equipment for the British Army. We expect that the decision on whether to proceed will be made before the end of the year.
