Proceeding contribution from Linda Gilroy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on Defence Procurement.
Defence Procurement
There may be some confusion about the Supacat vehicle, about which the hon. Member for Aldershot (Mr. Howarth) knows in detail. It is, in fact, the result of an alliance between a small company in Devon, I think of ex-marines, that invented that agile vehicle, and Babcock, which operates the production line. It was an urgent operational requirement, and it is rolling off the production line at the rate of one a week. I am sure that the hon. Gentleman would be very welcome to visit.
