Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Viscount Slim (Crossbench). It was answered on Wednesday, 14 October 2009.


Armed Forces: Parachuting

Question
My Lords, is it not a fact that the Royal Air Force plays an important role in parachuting? Any curtailment in the research and development of new techniques and new technologies for clandestine entry by parachute and other means must not in any way be thwarted.
Answer

My Lords, I totally agree. The Ministry of Defence spends a great deal of money, time and research on new technologies and new techniques, and that will continue.
