HC Deb 03 November 1993 vol 231 c286W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what were the results of his Department's trials into the suitability for military use of the Skyship 600 airship; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hanley

Further to the reply that my hon. Friend the Minister of State for Defence Procurement gave to the hon. Member on 15 July 1993 at column637, the trials are continuing and it will be some time before we are in a position to make any decisions on future operational roles for airships.
