§ Mr. AspinwallTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether there have been any developments in his plan to conduct a trial of a relocatable over-the-horizon radar in the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Alan ClarkI announced on 30 March 1990, at columns328–9 that we had decided in principle to undertake, in collaboration with the United States, a trial of the potential value of a relocatable over-the-horizon radar in the United Kingdom. Following my right hon. Friend's statement on Options for Change on 25 July 1990 at columns 470–88, we have been reviewing our equipment plans and have decided not to proceed with this project.
