Proceeding contribution from Lord Soames of Fletching (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 May 2011. It occurred during Urgent question on Libya.


Libya

I thank my hon. Friend for his statement. If the Apache helicopter were to be deployed, that would be entirely appropriate, particularly given the Gaddafi forces' change in tactics, and the requirement to have a highly effective machine that can lurk and deal with the hard-to-find targets. What steps would need to be taken to marinise the Apache if it were to be operating off-carrier?
