§ Mr. JenkinTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if Invincible class ships are able to embark Harrier GR7 when the vessel is undertaking its LPH role. [64820]
§ Mr. IngramInvincible class ships can embark GR7 in the LPH role but would not usually be tasked to do so. In the LPH role the Carrier Air Group will consist of the helicopters required to lift a full Commando Group and would therefore be severely constrained for space in which to embark fixed wing aircraft at the same time.
