Mr. Battle

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to his oral answers of 19 February,Official Report, columns 137–38, when he now expects to make a decision on the Challenger II tank contract bid.

I hope that a decision on the equipment for our future main battle tank fleet will not have to be delayed too long.
