§ Mr. CohenTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is the timetable for delivery of nuclear warhead containers and transport equipment to Russia. [18127]
§ Mr. FreemanTo date, 155 super-containers have been delivered. The remaining 95 will be delivered in two shipments which will be made in April and June of this year.
Production of the transport equipment has been completed. Delivery of the truck cargo heavy duty (Russia) (TCHD(R))s has slipped from the original schedule, due to difficulties of siting support staff in Russia. These have now been resolved and deliveries are expected to commence in the middle of this year, completion being by early March 1996.
