Proceeding contribution from Gerald Howarth (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on Defence in the UK.
Defence in the UK
My hon. Friend referred to the eight Chinooks that are being modified in his constituency. There is a rumour going round that suggests that perhaps only one of them will be available for deployment by the end of the year, but it will not have full operational capability. It will be put into theatre merely to prove that it can be done. From his knowledge, is my hon. Friend in a position to comment on that, or should I ask the Minister?
