On what date Ministers in the Ministry of Defence approved the putting into production of the portable range of Clansman radios. [HL4295]
§ Baroness Symons of Vernham DeanThe Clansman Combat Net Radio has been in service for over 20 years and current records do not show the exact date on which Ministers approved the putting into production of the portable range of the radio. The information held does, however, record that contracts for the production of the initial batches of VHF, HF and UHF portable radios were placed in December 1971, February 1972 and January 1974 respectively.
