HC Deb 28 October 2002 vol 391 c673W
Mr. Liddell-Grainger

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence pursuant to his answer of 16 October 2002, ref: 73313, what steps he will take to find the anti-tank missiles lost in the Bristol Channel. [76178]

Dr. Moonie

Two extensive searches of the range have failed to locate the lost pallet of munitions that contained the anti-tank missiles. The most recent of these was conducted between 7 and 11 October 2002 by a six-strong team from the Royal Navy Southern Diving Group. A report into the findings of this latest search is currently being prepared and its findings will determine the Ministry of Defence's next steps.
