HC Deb 17 January 1994 vol 235 c439W
Mr. Marland

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is his Department's current policy on the air transportation of outsize loads, including the Challenger main battle tank, Warrior mechanised infantry combat vehicle and multiple launch rocket system.

Mr. Hanley

Outsize loads are normally transported by sea or land. If these needed to be moved by air, we have a bilateral agreement with the United States for the use of their aircraft and plans for the use of chartered civil wide-bodied aircraft.
