HC Deb 21 October 1993 vol 230 c328W
Mr. Home Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many light strike vehicles it was originally proposed to purchase for 5 Airborne Brigade; of what type and at what cost; what vehicles were to be replaced as a result; when and why this order was postponed; what are the operational implications for the brigade's tactical mobility; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Aitken

We have never had any plans to place an order for a light strike vehicle for 5 Airborne Brigade.
