HL Deb 07 July 2004 vol 663 c91WA
Lord Mackenzie of Culkein

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the DLH launcher will be fitted to vessels of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary so that they may be equipped to use MK251 decoy rounds. [HL3533]

Lord Bach:

It is planned to fit the DLH launcher to three vessels of the current Royal Fleet Auxiliary fleet during 2006 and 2007. Whether these vessels will then subsequently carry the MK251 active decoy round will be dependent on the nature of operations in which they would be likely to be involved. Decisions on the future fit of the DLH launcher to other RFA vessels have yet to be made.
