HC Deb 21 October 1991 vol 196 c449W
Mr. Menzies Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what were the considerations which prompted the cancellation of the lightweight four-barrel launcher Seawolf close-area defence system programme.

Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

Cancellation of the lightweight Seawolf programme was a consequence of the examination of the forward equipment programme in the light of changes required to support the force levels envisaged in "Britain's Defence for the 90s".
