HC Deb 04 July 2000 vol 353 c132W
Mr. Hancock

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what plans his Department has to acquire an updated robotic surveillance system; and if he will make a statement. [127178]

Mr. Spellar

There are no current plans to acquire a land-based robotic surveillance system. Research is, however, being conducted into the potential of robotics to meet possible future requirements.
