Ms. Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when he now expects to approve the pinger designs currently being tested by the Admiralty Research Establishment.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

It is hoped to undertake further trials of prototype pinger devices in late March or early April. Design specifications for possible commercially produced devices will be issued on completion of these trials.
