Written question asked by Lord Astor of Hever (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Baroness Taylor of Bolton (Labour) on Monday, 29 September 2008.


Armed Forces: Complex Weapons

Question
asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they have any projects for future complex weapons other than those assigned to Team CW.
Answer

Yes. At present Team CW covers only those requirements set out in the Ministerial Statement of 15 July 2008 (Official Report, Commons, col. 10WS). The Team CW concept has the potential to fulfil a wide range of our future complex weapons requirements and this will continue to be explored as we move through the project assessment phase. Nevertheless there are likely to be certain requirements, such as those usually obtained from specialist suppliers, for example, torpedoes and sensor-fuzed munitions that will continue to fall outside of its scope.
