Proceeding contribution from Gerald Howarth (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on Defence Procurement.


Defence Procurement

I can reassure the hon. Gentleman on one point. The WMIKs are not being built by Supacat, which is a company based at Dunkeswell, the managing director of which happens to be the nephew of my former secretary—so I know a bit about it. It is building the Jackal, which, as the hon. Gentleman will have heard from the Minister, is performing superbly and is a fantastic bit of kit. Supacat is not involved in the WMIK programme.
