HC Deb 21 October 1991 vol 196 c450W
Mr. Menzies Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is his policy on the procurement of a new stand-off weapon for the Royal Air Force for use agains: hardened targets.

Mr. Alan Clark

We are currently considering the purchase of stand-off weapons for the RAF, taking into account experience gained in the Gulf. We recently raised a request for information with industry in order to identify any off-the-shelf weapons systems that might be suitable.
