§ Mr. Home RobertsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what progress has been made in providing armoured nuclear weapon transporters and containers to Russia: at what cost; under what vote and subhead the expenditure falls; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. AitkenI refer the hon. Gentleman to the reply given to the hon. Member for Bradford, South (Mr. Cryer) on 9 March 1992.
Specifications for the vehicles and containers have been discussed with Russian officials, and proposals for procurement are being prepared. It is our intention to deliver the equipment at the earliest possible date.
